third time unlucky in the case of our last camping trip of the summer, i won't bore you all with the details but let's just say that waking at 2am to find our tent was floating in a rather large puddle of water was not part of the plan!
in fact there was just so much water (& it was still raining) that we loaded up the car, woke the sleeping children, abandoned the tent & drove home at 3am,
still driving there & back the following day to collect the soggy (& very muddy) tent gave me plenty of car knitting time, in which to finish off my 'summer' cotton cardigan (yes just in time for autumns arrival)
still i love it & am so very happy with how it turned out, the pattern & yarn details can be found over on ravelry
i have of course cast on straight away for another project (determined that this one will become a Christmas present) & have also been at the sewing machine today & am feeling ever so proud of myself - details of which i will share as soon as i can get some pictures of said project
*i promise i have not forgotten about the previously mentioned giveaway i'm planning, it will be coming soon*
What a shame about the tent, we only managed one of our two camping trips due to the rain. It's been such a shame for the kids, we'll probably have a heat wave when the kids go back to school!
ReplyDeleteLove the cardigan, it's such a gorgeous colour,
I'm going to send a link to my mum to encourage her to knit me one!!

Love the cardigan. Do tell of your new project.xx
ReplyDeleteHello Kelly, thanks for you comment on my log. Wow your cardigan is stunning, I think I will have to dust off my needles and get some wool. We had moths and they loved my wool stash, so sadly had to throw the whole lot away! Anyway, a chance to buy some new! xx
