Unbelievable, right?! 😆
Well there are a couple of reasons:
(1) camping with 2 boys under 2 makes it next to impossible to knit 😀 I’m not complaining. We are just so busy playing and exploring that there is hardly any time for anything else.
(2) Since I mostly knit gifts or items for my shop, I don’t want to get the yarn dirty or smelling like campfire. As much I love that smell, I don’t think it belongs on my knitting. After all, I do promise the items are made in a smoke-free environment. And that doesn’t only mean cigarette smoke. 🙂
Here are a few pictures though of what my weekend looks like.

I think I still would have brought one, jus tin case….
I know what you mean. And now that the kids are napping, I really miss my knitting 😆
I think I still would have brought one, just in case! Looks like a fun weekend!
It is a lot of fun. And we just decided to extend our stay. We booked our tent cabin until June 1. Whoohoo! 🙂
wow – that is great – a whole week more! You had better go find some sticks and string for those campfire evenings. Maybe make something for the boys, they won’t mind a little smoke and dirt. 🙂
I’m so glad you suggested that. Can I use this as an excuse to my hubby that I need to buy some yarn? 😆
you bet!
Your weekend looked lovely, but… you’re going to have to explain this ‘no knitting’ concept to me.
😆 well let me see if I can… No sorry there’s no reasonable explanation. 😀 You are right :))
Now that we are staying the whole week, I think I need a trip to the local yarn shop ;))
I agree you deserve a trip to the yarn shop! 🙂
I’ve already googled all yarn shops within a 200m radius and I found some interesting spots. I’ll report back when I visit them 😀

It reminds me of Elizabeth Zimmerman (The Elizabeth David of knitting) knitting on a canoeing holiday in ‘The knitter’s Almanac’. She also recommends learning to knit in the dark, for long car journeys!
What a great idea! I haven’t heard that before and it makes perfect sense. Otherwise what else do you do if you’re not the driver and it’s dark outside?!
We here at WoolWorks never go anywhere without our knitting! Especially not camping…! But when the children were younger, the knitting usually stayed in it’s waterproof bag, untouched. By the time the boys were asleep it was always too dark to even attempt to knit!
Good point. I do need to find a waterproof bag for my knitting project. It helps when going to the water park too 😀
