Time for a BREAK (in Nazare, Portugal)

ByMAKE. DO. GROW March 25, 2023 0 min

Join us in the first episode of our “TRAVEL” series for a short trip to Nazaré, Portugal.

We’ve only booked a couple of nights away but that should be plenty of time to see what this charming seaside town on the coast of Portugal has to offer. We’re hoping to find waves, wine, walks and some seafood for Kylie.

Stay tuned to see what we get up to when we’re not hard at work on our renovation project.

Here’s some highlights of the trip

Kabuki Sushi (Japanese)

Tosca Gastro Bar (Tapas)

Tabernassa Restaurant (Tapas)

Pangeia Restaurant (Octopus)

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).
