and I had a great time.
We had plenty of this
but there was very little wind.
We picked the boat up from Port Solent on Wednesday evening and then motored it down to Gun Wharf where we moored up for the night at around 9pm. There were 21 boats in our party.
We went off the boat to have dinner aboard HMS Warrior and I have to say what an experience that was. If you ever get the chance to visit do. The dinner was excellent and we had a motivational speaker afterwards to fire us all up for the races the following day.
I got back to the hotel around 1am after leaving all the men to sleep on the boat.
I had to do some knitting but I am afraid at that time of night it was not much
Step Out in Style Sock
Then after a few hours sleep I joined the others back at the boat for breakfast
Our boat
Thursday we spent on the calm waters and came 6th overall after 3 races - not bad for someone who hasn't sailed before. I guess I should confess to doing very very little to sail the boat - however I did dish out the fun-size mars bars to keep everyone going. If only I had been brave enough to knit on the boat I would have had more of a sock to show!
The last coupe of days I have been working on Jane and the lucky lady now has a back, 2 fronts and 2 sleeves. Jane joins Audrey in the sewing up pile.
Happy Knitting
So glad the weather was kind to you! The sock looks lovely colours....
I have now got DB's JUnior Knits, agree with you about the patterns, but think they are very over-sized. A lot of them fit me - in some cases the 8 yr old size - if I did longer sleeves and sides.
