Summer Holiday (Part II)


Our stay in Newport, Rhode Island, was exactly what we had hoped for -- sun-filled beach days, lots of cooking (and eating), and time together as a family.


We had seven straight days of gorgeous weather and took advantage of being outdoors on every single one!  




We all got a lot of reading done, and while I was teased for knitting in the sunshine, I got to continue working through my list of year of projects, including the completion of this beauty.  At least I restrained myself from knitting on the beach!

"The Dream"  --A favorite spot at our holiday rental 

Here's a sneak preview of what I cast on during the second part of our summer holiday.  I'll be blogging about this soon!

  3. Newport is a great vacation spot - in fact, the whole southern RI shore has some of the best beaches most people haven't heard of!

    Your photo with your daughter is precious - and love that sunshine knitting. :)
