grandma, me and chocolate makes three.

Just a quick post to show you what i've been up to so far on my little holiday. I'm looking after my Grandma during the day so we can't really do much apart from the crossword, daytime tv and eating chocolates! But we have had the knitting needles out and i've made good progress in the scarf i've been making as a gift for someone. I cast on quite a width of stitches so it can be double as a wrap for winter evenings. I'm not sure i'll be able to let it go when it's done... it's pretty!

And in case you were wondering...those chocolates are all gone now. YUM!

arrrrr.

I feel VERY piratey. These past few days i've spent quite a bit of time at Charlestown harbour where there you can see several tall ships docked. It  really is quite inspiring to be there, luckily enough for me that i only live up the road! I was such a lucky teenager... the harbour was has been used as a location for several films including the recent version of Man in the Iron Mask (oh take me back to the days of my crush on Leo DiCaprio!) and Pirates of the Caribbean (*faint*).

In other news. I'm heading up country a bit to see some family and i'm taking my Christmas knitting with me. I completely underestimated how long it would take to make everything i wanted to make. I should have finished gift number one by the end of today so i'll try and take pictures and post it so you can see what i'm up to.

Yoho my hearties!
