It's an early start for the family today as we attempt to cram all our possessions into the car and make our regular pilgrimage north to the Lake District. It's a mark of how busy the past few weeks have been that I havent even thought about my holiday knitting, much less packed anything

One option is just to gather up a selection of WIPs and bung them in the boot. The other option is to grab a few skeins of yarn and my needles and start something new and unspecified - every holiday should have a new cast on...no? The sensible option would be to go for option one but I think you can probably guess that option 2 is by far the most appealing one to me.

I may be a bit quieter than usual on social media but I will still be around - there night just be a few more photos of sheep than usual.
