I've tried to knit, but I always forget if I'm knitting or purling when I put it down for a while. Crochet is much simpler.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I know someone who learned to knit watching clips on youtube. I am happy to teach people to knit, but you'd have to come here.

I've learned new techniques from youtube but I learned to knit from an aunt and classes.
I took a class to do Fair Isle knitting, learned, and promptly never used it again. I would have to teach myself that technique again. I found it really stressful navigating two colors at once.

I declared in Bitches a while ago: I'm planning to come again to the U.S. next year, from mid-October to the beginning of November. I'm hoping to get a job real soon so I'll be able to afford it.
And I'd love to meet lurkers as well.

Do you know which cruise line you might go to work with? I do a fair amount of work aboard ships and there is a small chance we could cross paths. Currently it looks like I'll be out for around 6-8 weeks scattered between February and July and I'll be on 4 different ships.
Princess! I haven't been offered a job yet, and I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel good about it.
Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!!

Cool. I've sailed on a Princess ship but I haven't done any work for them. I've done work for Disney, NCL and RCCL at this point.

I applied for positions on all those lines, but didn't hear anything back from them. My parents *think* they have sailed on Princess, but it was about a thousand years ago, they say, so they aren't 100% sure.

Punishingly Intricate
A friend of mine just started working on a cruise ship a few months ago and, from all accounts, is having a blast. I should find out what line she is on.
