Today was a full day of knitting, noses to the grindstone!

The new subject for today was knit one below, but people were of
course free to continue with projects from earlier in the week if
they preferred. Here are the two mitten patterns that Fiona
designed using this technique.

As you can see we have accumulated quite a lot of
paper and knitting on the work table, but fun was had along with
the learning.

We went for a lovely dip in the pool before dinner. The weather has been gorgeous and sunny, and the wind has dropped. It was great to drift in the pool looking up at the sky.

Joanne finished her first mitten already.

I have made good progress on mine (you may recognise the neon yarn from the other day!)

This evening we went for a meal at the Auberge des Glycines at Taillebourg, on the banks of the river Charente. He is the view from the front of the restaurant.

The food was delicious and the setting delightful. I have eaten so much good food I shall be spherical by the time I go home!
