All set, I
guess.
I phoned
Helen. She was on a motorway, she said, between Rheims
and Calais . Her
plan is to spend tonight – and maybe last night? – with her husband’s mother in
Cheshire ,
introducing the boys to a new baby cousin, and then come on to Strathardle
tomorrow. Where we will be.
Rain is
forecast – it is much needed.
I’m within
hailing distance of the toe of the 1st Pakokku sock. I think I’m
going to take along not only it, but another skein of Pakokku in case I finish
these socks. I need to get back to Relax2, but I also need soothing.
My husband
has a hospital appt on the 1st of August, so we’ll be back for a
couple of days next week to accommodate that and draw breath. See you then.
Safe travels and relaxing!

ReplyDeleteHave a safe happy trip.
ReplyDeleteWanted to thank you for mentioning Into the Wirled sock yarn, went to look and fell in love with her spinning fiber! Yummy stuff...awaiting shipment now.
Have a restful time! Hope everyone else does the work and lets you sit and knit!
ReplyDeleteJean, we've been coming and going: Edinburgh, Shetland, den Haag, NH, Michigan, NH.... and I have lost track..... what is your games entry this year? (I've been following since before Sam the Ram, but I'm totally lost for the 2013 Games! (We are packing for a trip to Alaska, leaving tomorrow and a brother I have not seen in 5 years will be here tonight... that is MY excuse!)

Alas, Barbara, no Games this year (for us). I have a big birthday coming up in mid-August. Everybody -- and I really mean everybody -- is going to be here for that. The knitting was pretty dull anyway -- a cushion cover, not my style, or a simple baby pattern, supplied, the result to be donated for babies in Africa. I suppose I would have done that.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!
Have a great time with your loved ones. I really like the Mind the Gap socks and want to thank you again for pointing me towards the Pakokku sock yarn. the Loopy Ewe staff and I had a most amusing time trying to find it until someone suggested we check your blog. Gorgeous yarn and I look forward to knitting socks from it. Take care - Joe-in Wyoming.
