Comments on: Gatwick Airport Still Using One Bag Rule http://www.cotswolder.com/blog/2008/planning/gatwick-airport-still-using-one-bag-rule/ Travel Guide for the Cotswolds, England Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:35:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Judith in Umbria http://www.cotswolder.com/blog/2008/planning/gatwick-airport-still-using-one-bag-rule/#comment-44 Judith in Umbria Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:38:40 +0000 http://www.cotswolder.com/blog/?p=27#comment-44 My mind was turning, turning with ideas for mittens to order when suddenly I realized it is not mittens I need, but socks. They simply do not recognize the importance of real wool in this country. I am afraid to walk in the few pairs I have brought with me, because not even the sports equipment people sell real wool socks. I have very small feet...

Traveling with a friend once,to Winnipeg, he looked at all "Might-Need-Things" and said, "Of course, we're going to the Jungle." Rules are very strict since 9/11. Can't carry anything liquid (even eye-drops), or sharp (even file-nail). It just get thrown away. Wish I was still a girl-guide with an extra shirt-jeans-underwear rolled in a sleeping bag! Good-luck! Hi! Traveling with a friend once,to Winnipeg, he looked at all “Might-Need-Things” and said, “Of course, we’re going to the Jungle.” Rules are very strict since 9/11.

This has been a very successful knitting trip. I taught myself how to knit mittens - did the flat method with a seam, made two sets in the round one with thumb gussett, one without and decided that the best way to knit them is in the round with a thumb gussett. Then I found out that Jonathan's wife Philippa is a master knitter and she inspired me to try a sock. I did one test sock and loved it! I now have some special Kaffe Fassett wool where you make the socks in the round and the wool is dyed so you get lovely striped socks! But right now I am making a crochet scarf with some lovely soft wool I brought and some silk Philippa gave me to try. Put in your requests for mittens now - I can make you some for next winter!! I am back to being passionate about knitting (I gave up knitting when SlowTrav took over all my time). Even with all the stuff I brought, after two months I am so sick of the clothes I have been wearing. I wish I brought more knitting stuff with me! This has been a very successful knitting trip.

You must have discipline! (Does anybody actually knit on a hiking holiday in Europe?) And Jane, you just need to unplug. Discipline! You must have discipline!

And Jane, you just need to unplug.
