One total bonus about being in Turkey with a new daughter is that the neighbours have starting some serious knitting. Not having much of a knitting sort of family (I will never hold it against you Mum!!) its quite a novelty to be given these home-made gems. This is what we have so far and you will be happy to hear that both the pink pom-pom skirt and luminous orange trousers are getting jackets to match! This pink skirt is definitely my favourite so far: kind of impractical but so so stylish. I just can't stop recalling the knitted swimming trunks in the early scenes of  'The Hairdresser's Husband'.
