Just a quick post before I head out for a cheeky Starbucks eggnog latte (YUM!).
We’re back home again in cold, sunny Blighty. My little Dutch mini break was over far far too quickly (I don’t think any holiday can be too long!), but I had an absolute blast.
We walked ‘til our feet ached, ate lots of delicious Dutch pancakes, stocked up on stroopwafels and pancake syrup and took hundreds of photos. The picture above is one of my favourites, but there are a few more for a future blog post. And there was knitting…
There hasn’t been a huge amount of cowl progress because the Cinema Socks ended up being the project of choice on this trip. I managed to complete the heel turn and the gusset decreases on the crossing to Amsterdam…
And on the way back I knit a little further up the foot.
I think I’ve got about 2 or 3 more inches of foot left before I can start the toe decreases, and then these will be ready for the Boy’s Christmas box. We’re having Chinese take out round at the Boy’s parent’s house tonight, but after that I’m looking forward to hunkering down with some hot chocolate, snuggly pjs and the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter to me whilst I power on with these socks.
