Portugal

Here, finally are a few of the pictures from my weekend in Portugal. We went to see the Swedish Match Tour, a sailing event. I am not into sailing at all but the husband had to be there for work reasons and I was more than happy to go along too.

Cascais is a really pretty little city by the sea, close to Lisbon and Sinta. Here's the fishing port:

Here's the boat racing:

and here's another shot:

and looking at the beautiful houses that are down by the coast:

and finally, there was this charming lighthouse that I fell in love with:

I have made a tiny bit of knitting progress although I am a little embarassed about how little I seem to have fitted in recently... I have been going out nearly every night or come home so late that I was too exhausted to pick up the needles. Is one allowed to say that? I should probably be ashamed of being so uncommited to my craft:)

Here is the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino boat neck sweater that I finished for my next door neighbour's baby girl:

I have really enjoyed knitting this jumper. The yarn really is a pleasure to knit with and the pattern is about as simple as they come. Knit 2 squares and then knit 2 sleeves. Sew it up. No picking up stitches (I am hugely in favour of minimising all picking up of stitches whenever and wherever possible). Right, my sister is here so I am going to go and pay some attention to her.
