Cannot believe that I am into day 27 of our trip around the world for 12 months.

Have been enjoying just hanging with my mum here in Ashburton, New Zealand, doing all of the mother/daughter stuff such as coffee’s and lunches out and of course plenty of shopping.

As I have been living in Brisbane, Australia (after moving there over 22 years ago from New Zealand), it is great spending some quality time with my mum.

Thought that I would have plenty of time to work on Woolswap and knit, but the general day to day life has been taking  over.  But hey let’s face it after working a 9 -5 job for the last 30 odd years with no break, it sure is nice just chilling.  Even better when you can do this with family of course.

I have managed to keep some socks on the needles and try and knit any chance that I get when sitting (if I am sitting you can generally find me knitting).  Have managed to finish one pair of socks since being on the road and have another two pairs of socks on the go.  That is the danger when you have numerous sets of needles….

I have some new and ongoing ideas for Woolswap in my head and just need to get down to the business of making these ideas come to fruition  Gosh as I am typing this more ideas are flowing, so had better go now and jot these down on paper, so I don’t forget.
