Don't laugh, but i always take whatever knitting project i'm doing at the time! I find knitting very relaxing. I love sewing too but so far i've left that at home! I Last May when we were in Norfolk, i was sat in the awning, knitting, when i heard a young child say to her mum "look that lady is knitting"! It made me smile and i thoaught at least she didn't say "what's that lady doing"!

So, yes, definitely take your craft box with you and enjoy!

Having quite a few friends in the boating fraternity, I have been known to take my sewing machine and kit away with me, and pitch next to (or as close as possible) a moored boat. Then I measure it up for new curtains, and sometimes some loose seat covers, and after the owner has provided the materials, I sit and sew a new set.

The reward afterwards is often a nice days cruise out on the Broads and rivers, sometimes with a tasty pub Lunch and a bottle of wine, but the best reward is the friendship and satisfaction gained by helping someone maintain their pride and joy out on the waterways for many years to come, some boats already having passed their 50th year, and a few as old as 60!

Knitting,embroidery (easy stuff) and a jigsaw, one that is inside a big zipped up thing so it is safe. It is a mosaic of a lion's head in the middle, but alround it at about 900 pieces of mosaics inside mosaics. I have never had one so difficult and it has so far taken over two years to even do a little bit. You have to get one bit and try to fit it in everywhere. Then if it fits go onto the next one. There must be at least nearly 200 + mosaics inside mosaics.I can only take a little at a time, that's why I take it away to saee if I can do at least a few bits to it.
