Exploring Vietnam: From Bikes To Buses And Boats, Plus Tasty Delights!

ByMAKE. DO. GROW May 4, 2024 1 min

We’ve been on holiday! But not just any holiday, it was a bit of an adventure – off the beaten path in northern Vietnam. Join us for an epic trip on motorbikes, night trains, busses and boats. We hiked into the mountains to take part in some volunteer projects, did some building work, ate a lot of delicious food and enjoyed some absolutely stunning scenery.

Follow along and see what we get up to on holiday. And make sure you’re subscribed for two further Vietnam adventures to follow in the coming weeks.

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
