Glaciers drift slowly, inexorably downward, then in a sudden onrush of sound and energy, birth icebergs that that drift across the endless polar sea.

Knitting can be like that, too. We work slowly over days, weeks, or months, then suddenly something is born of our efforts. In this case, a cowl jumped off the needles just in time to warm our necks on the Seascape Knit Trips Alaska 2025 cruise, and now it’s available for everyone. May you enjoy the knitting!
