For my weeks holiday in Cornwall I packed:

2 x pairs socks to knit

numerous bookmarks to crochet

1 scarf to crochet

I was worried that it wouldn’t be enough what with the 4-5 hour drive each way in the car and 6 nights and days! How much did I do? Half a bookmark and the foot of a sock and that’s all. I don’t really know where the time went! But, I did do some crocheting on the beach…

I have a cool crochet pattern to make bookmarks from the Crochet-Pattern-A-Day calendar and I thought they’d make good pressies for the kids teachers at christmas. It isn’t finished but I reckon it’ll only take about half an hour to do each one once I get going.

The webmaster also enjoyed his holiday…

although some random woman shouted at him that he was a sissy for going in with a wetsuit on!

I’m back to serious knitting now and am making good progress on a Rowan Cocoon cardi which will appear in the window when it’s finished. It is beautiful yarn, lovely to knit and pretty quick. Also, even though I’m not normally a cable fan it’s a nice pattern to knit.
