Original Patterns Needed
Are you a designer? How about trying your hand at designing a pattern for Christmas at Sea?
Christmas at Sea is looking for both crochet and knit slipper patterns for gifts for cruise ship workers. Please send in your pattern by October 1. A sample slipper is also requested.
The official cruise ship worker slipper pattern will be announced in the next print issue of the Knit Before Christmas. The Institute plans to distribute hand made slippers in 2008.
SCI provides pastoral care and hospitality services to thousands of cruise ship workers docking in Manhattan; Red Hook, Brooklyn; and Cape Liberty, Bayonne, NJ each year. Cruise ship workers visiting our centers are able to wire money, make phone calls home and use the internet.
Most cruise ship workers work up to nine straight months with few or no days off. Sitting at my desk this Monday, after a beautiful weekend, it’s hard to imagine what that’s like.

JD, Congratulations on your new position. I am looking forward to helping write some new patterns for the program as well as knitting them.

JD,
Three knitters at the London Terrace Tenents Association street fair on Saturday wanted more information. They will call or email you.
