Arrgggghhh, ahoy matey’s! Love it! I especially enjoy how you’ve added the read aloud and the make your own eye patch. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing with us!
Pirates and poetry, what a perfect excuse to rhyme.
Grandson LOVES Pirate Ned. Can’t wait till morning to share this with him!
Loving this!
What little pirate wouldn’t love this? And, Angie, you are my hero for singing the song part!
What an adorable story by Diana, and how wonderfully read by Angie! It’s like I want to wrap little ole Ned and his buddies in bundles of yarn. The rhyme and rhythm help the sweet story along, as does the song. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love Diana’s books, and what a fun craft! So great to have craft activities to do with my kids! Thanks, Angie!
Such a cute story! Thanks for reading, Angie!
:)) so childish! just as it should be :))
I love it! And you do such a fine job of reading, or should I say singing, it!
Such an original concept and fun read! Nice job singing. Thanks Angie!
Angie, thanks for your reading! You read with such great expression! Very fun story too!
A rhyming story, a crafty pirate patch, and a catchy pirate song–who could ask for anything more? Thanks, Angie, for a fun read and craft idea!

Love all of Diana’s books. I saw the one many moons ago in The Poets’ Garage. Loved it then! ❤ Love it now! 🙂

Hi, Angie! I enjoyed listening to you read and sing NED, THE KNITTING PIRATE.
That’s such a fun story. Thanks for sharing it with us, Angie!
such a fun book. Thanks for sharing it but now I’ve got a problem…
“We’re pirates, we’re pirates, a-sailing the sea…”
How do I get the song out of my head!!!?
or is it “out sailing”?
What a fun way to start my day-pirates, knitting, and singing, too 🙂 Fab job, Angie! I’m feeling the rhyme and having a good time with Diana’s book!
So much fun! Thanks, Angie
Thank you, Angie! You did such a great job reading AND singing! You have no idea how horrified I was the first time I read this in public and realized, gulp, I have to sing! LOL. 🙂
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments. Special thanks to my writing buddies for stopping by. *waves*
Thanks, Angie!
Thanks Angie, for sharing this great book. Knitting pirates, that is very creative.
Loved Ned the Knitting Pirate buying it now! 🙂
My daughters love this one, because Grandma knits! We’ll have to read this one with her. 🙂
Thanks for the fun post!
Oh Pirates. the craft looks like great fun!
So excited to hear other books and look forward to checking out the other ones too 😊
Great story and ideas! Thanks, Angie!
So many cute ideas! I’m looking forward to reading Diana’s new book…thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Fun story! I love pirate stories that I can share in my shows. The kids will really enjoy this one.
I love a good pirate story. This one is chocked-full of pirate speech, fun rhymes, active verbs, surprise, and a resourceful main character. I love that Ned knitted a blanket to comfort the creature.
Such a fun story 😊
Knitting and pirates, what a great combination.
I’m really liking the ‘Readings by Angie’ portion this year! Nice job.
