Holiday knits

I enjoyed knitting in the car while we travelled to and from Italy, it passed the time nicely though Mr FF was always concerned that I might miss some of the fantastic scenery. On the way out I finished this pair of plain socks in Regiaand on the way back this pair of Tidal Wave socks, a pattern I've used many times, in the yarn I bought in France last year.I also started a little jumper using Trekking which I thought might be a bit loud for a baby but am assured is not. While I was away it was our village show. I didn't have time to make anything to fit the categories baby item or item in double knit so I asked Pam to enter a pair of socks I'd produced from left over yarn in the 'article in any other craft' section for me. I won second prize, 30p for a 10p entry, result.

    I don't know how you could knit in the car but the result was good.

    Oh well done you! 30p Great times ahead!

    Socks look fab. I have huge respect for any one who can knit. I'm hopeless. My Grandma gave up on me when I was under 10 years old, I am simply bound never to be a knitter.

    *sigh*

    After reading this post, and seeing your results, I may have to give knitting in the car a try (whilst hoping that there are no emergency stops when I'm holding pointy sticks!).

    I'm too nosey to knot in the car - I am scared of missing something. I love the socks!! I love village shows - especially the very bitchy comments that are given along with the prizes by the judges. My friend and I nearly died laughing at some comments left (by some obviously bitter and twisted old bat) at the village show in Masham North Yorkshire a few years ago. I wish I had written them down!

    Love your socks Jenny! Always good to hear that you managed some car knitting whilst also taking in the scenary. That's got to class as a 'multi-tasking woman thing!'. I've made a baby cardi and hat in that exact same Trekking yarn. It looked fabulous;lovely and bright. I am assured the baby liked it too! :) Ros
