I learned a new knitting
technique!! (Also, our current hotel is a castle)
Mom (Marci) thinks I should be
talking more about the trip and less about my knitting, because, you know, this
is a travel blog.
So here is a list of top
five blog-worthy moments from the past few days:
1. Our current hotel is a
castle!
I am not kidding. I am not
even exaggerating, it is a literal, actual, stone built and WiFi enabled
castle.
I guess it’s pretty nice.
2. I had grilled lamb
liver for breakfast.
...I was not a fan.
3. We visited a gorgeously
scenic cliff site complete with hiking trails and castle ruins.
4. This place, the
Dromoland castle, also hosts weddings. So my fairytale castle wedding could
actually happen. But I couldn’t get that excited about it because…
5. I learned magic loop
knitting!
I don’t think you
understand how amazingly awesome this is for me. You don’t even know. This
eliminates my need for double pointed needles entirely. I don’t even need to use
two circular needles anymore for small projects. This method of knitting will
allow any diameter of… wait, where are you going? This could possibly be the
most exciting activity from this entire vacation!!
Fine then. Here's a picture of our family looking happy on our final night's boating adventure:
