Day 4 = July 19, 2014
If you are on a fun boat ride, then hold on because most of those will be super windy and bumpy. An easy project that is repetitive is best. That way you can use your surroundings to your favor by working on a pattern that has it's own rhythm and the rhythm helps create muscle memory. Having muscle memory when working in a bumpy location can be a life saver because even if you are on a bump your fingers will transmit to your brain that that last stitch didn't feel right.
Transport boat rides are usually on large ferry boats that do not rock but are windy. So, any type of project will do. However, be careful of long repeating patterns because your ride is a set amount of time with a definite end.
Scenic boat rides are wonderful for inspiration. Whether the inspiration lies in the scenery, wildlife or the water. Put down your knitting and pick up a camera. Who knows maybe the colors of the sunset will inspire a dazzling shawl or maybe the ripples in the water will inspire a flowing scarf.
Knitting for cruises is a FREE FOR ALL. Did you get that? You are on a steady boat, for several days, with large amounts of time... KNIT YOUR HEART OUT! The only possible drawback is if you are responsible for small children. Then just find the kid areas on the ship, take your kids there, bring your knitting, pull up a chair and knit. Ta-da!
