I love the summer holidays. When the girls were small it was always so relaxing not being thrown into the hurly burly of early mornings and sorting out games kit and homework. Now they are both teachers the bonus is we get to see alot more of them in the holidays. Katie has spent quite a lot of time with us this holiday as she is househunting in the area/ she loves coming in the shop and would really like my job! She also enjoys knitting and has finishes a cardigan in NORO BLOSSOM which looks really good and will be very useful in.school. she is never afraid and last night sat down and got well on the way to mastering crochet.

My own knitting has slowed down a bit. The BLUR carigan is nearly finished and I have done the lacy borders down the two fronts. These were a little tricky as I found it difficult to see the pattern in the furry wool, I had to really concentrate.

The next two weeks are a bit hectic withlots of visitors. As both my mother and my grandaughter are staying there will be four generations of women in the house ! I do, in passing, have a moment of sympathy for my husband!
