My April in Italy starts tomorrow. Terje will drive me to the airport very early, before going to work. I will fly to Oslo, then from Oslo to Frankfurt and from Frankfurt to Venice. I plan to have a late luch on Murano. Ahhh, pizza margherita :-). I have had my grandson here today, actually he has been with us since Sunday. His father, our son in law, just picked him up, and now it is time to start packing. One month. One suitcase. And there are so many books, so much knitting.......
I plan to knit a jacket and a pair of stockings for the old toddler bunad Leander will wear for May 17th. Not the bunad I showed you the other day, which is already too small, but the other one I have saved for more than 30 years. The knickers, the vest and the shirt can be reused, but to complete the outfit, I need to make the stockings and a wool jacket as May 17 is always cold in Norway.
This will be a perfect "on the go"-knitting. And as Terje is coming down in a few days and will stay for two weeks, I don´t need to pack all the yarn now. I can start with the stockings and hopefully finish them and send them back in Terje´s suitcase. And he can bring more yarn down :-) A perfect plan.

I am looking so much forward to show you Venice.
Have you ever been there?
What a beautiful pattern for the little jacket! Leander will be adorable! I've never been to Venice so I am looking forward to seeing your lovely photos.

Never been to Venice - will enjoy your travelogue
And especially looking forward to progress on Leander's bunad. Just too adorable (if you can say that for a boy)

Of course you can say adorable for a bay, especially when he is 16 moths old :-)
