Knitting and Traveling

We have been to Switzerland and are back home again.
Both children traveled well and without a problem. I cast on for the polo shirt from the new Debbie Bliss Babycashmerino 3 book as we left London. Remember it is the book with my darling in it.
I cast the top on in the round so I had nice easy knitting during the long drive. I did come to a problem as I started on the front neck opening.
It took me a long time to figure out what is wrong with the pattern. I can't read that well in a traveling car. I found the mistake but in the end I finished the front openings at home.
I now want to knit the sleeves in the round to. I bought some rosewood dp's in Switzerland.
That is if I ever get some peace.
Look who get there first as I tried to take a photo for my blog. She is fast and she will go into a room and start destroying stuff. We now have rolls of unraveled toilet paper.


Noor on the other hand enjoys Switzerland where she can go out and about by herself. She is allowed to go to the bakery and the local supermarket. Sometimes we let her go back to my Mums on her own. She did get stopped by the neighborhood policeman and asked why she wasn't in school. She explained that she was having her Easter holiday and lives in London. He was very impressed by her language skills.
We also managed to get some of the free footballs. Switzerland has been taken over by football fever. Even knitting kits are available.

Noor is growing up to be such a lovely responsible young lady isnt she. Tara is the cutest and stealing your knitting, perhaps she knows how much you love it. I really like the color of the sweater too.

I think it's time you bought Tara her own little set of yarn and needles!! Soon you'll be sending Noor to Switzerland on her own.
