Travel and Vacation Knitting

(click on the photos for a bigger view and more photos...)
I got to knit on the planes (Lufthansa and Air Canada), and I got to knit at the park, and I sometimes got to knit in the evening... And I thought I was going to see everyone knitting in public in the States and in Canada, but no, I never saw a single knitter out there.... was always the only one, just like here.

Im Flieger gestrickt, auf verschiedenen Spielplaetzen mit Meeresblick und Bergblick gestrickt. Und abends zuhause gestrickt. Produktive Ferien.

Tricote dans l'avion et dans les parcs du Nouveau monde, quand J etait en train d'essayer les toboggans. Remarque, le fait que la France ait banni les balancoires des aires de jeux m'a fait un fils qui a peur des balancoires: il essaie pour deux secondes et demande: "Descendir, Maman". Sic, oui, mon fils fait des erreur de grammaire. Et je ne les corrige meme pas, puisque je lui parle uniquement en allemand. Mais il en fait en allemand aussi, je vous rassure tout de suite.
