Eid Mubarak

We celebrated Eid on Monday after a 30-day Ramadan. This year's Eid was very peaceful and relaxed, the weather being too humid to do much except lounge under the fan and eat and chat.
The kids did a bit of craft for Eid.
Then there was the customary mehndi (henna)....
...and bangles...
...and lots of simple fun.

Today is the third day of Eid and we had some rain and the weather has turned quite pleasant. We are making up the most of last day of the Eid holidays.

Ramadan Knitting

Ramadan this year was very busy, more so than usual, so that I found little time for anything not related to the month. While the blog got totally ignored, I did manage to knit a few rows a day to make progress on a baby set for my toddler. It is a DROPS pattern which I have knit before for my older daughter. I have finished the trousers and am up to the yoke on the jacket and working on the sleeves right now. Hopefully it will get done more quickly after Eid.
