Mr Josiekitten and I have just returned from a week in Kos. We had a wonderful time there, and really chilled out. The weather was perfect - hot (but not too hot) and sunny. Our days were spent relaxing on the sandy beach, and of course, I made sure that I packed plenty of knitting to keep myself busy! Knitting on the beach wasn't nearly as tricky as I thought......
I managed to finish my May Sock Challenge Nutkin socks. Even though I cast on 72 stitches, they still need a little tug to get them over my instep. But once on, they feel great, and they don't seem to be suffering from the evil twist encountered by many knitters of this pattern.
I also finished my Ishbel shawl. Now that it's blocked, you can really see the lace pattern much better, and I love it!
I even finished another pair of socks - Cheeky Greek Monkeys. They are for Andrea, a friend in Germany, who we'll be visiting later in the summer. This is such a fun pattern to knit, and very quick too. I must have knitted one sock in total just on the flights to and from Greece.

What lovely scenery for doing some knitting. :-)
Hi There
Just discovered your website which is great although Ive never knit a sock in my life (and probably never will!)
I'm interested that you were knitting on a flight to Greece. I thought they wouldn't let you in the cabin with needles (sharp dangerous things that they are). I am off to China in September and could get a lot of crocheting done on that flight!
