Lazy Saturday at Sea

Time to catch up again with how things have been going. I am preparing a knitted wardrobe for baby Mereu with group knitting in the morning and lots of afternoon free time too. Two of the outfits for baby are finished and a third is nearing completion.I am also working on a cardigan for myself.

This one is actually a prettier pink than it photographed.

A smocked top dress and hat.

A little cardigan with sleeves being worked on

A project for myself.

The morning knit group includes a knitter from NC who is also a potter who makes buttons for her local yarn shop. She was so taken with my little girl things she wants to send me some of her homemade buttons . So much fun to share time with such interesting ladies. My afternoon quiet knit time usually includes an audio book and I have finished the two cruise book club books and one other. Steve has been tearing through books too and thankfully there is a passenger exchange library onboard.

We have enjoyed our 7 PM regular dining table by the window and have enjoyed that we get to met a new couple nearly every night sitting at the table for 2 next to us. I can’t remember if I have said this before but we continue to be surprised at the number of people that are taking this cruise for the 58 days round trip from Fort Lauderdale. Many are escaping cold climates but we have also met a couple from England, a couple from New Zealand, a couple from Amsterdam and of course several Canadians. Pictured is a lamb shank entree and our wonderful waiter Amorn from Thailand. He has been on Princess ships for over 15 years. 

Tomorrow we will be in Coquimbo Chile. It will be nice to put our feet on the ground again.
