The other people on this tour are really expert knitters and at this moment, most of them are sitting knitting socks on four needles but really complicated designs. I must be the only one not knitting because I’m looking at the scenery or just thinking or writing. There is also a lot of discussion going on about the best yarn stores, various patterns that people are using and the interesting stitches that I’ve never heard of. I must learn more.
On reaching the city of Hikone, there were huge crowds in the street. People were watching a parade since this is a public holiday for cultural reasons. The bus found it very difficult to find a park and we had to walk a long way to the gardens we were supposed to visit. There was no time to do a tour of the gardens as it would have made us too far behind schedule. However, we all found the parade itself very interesting. Photos on my Instagram. See: butterworth.marg
