I'm loving all those blues, and my interest is especially piqued by the lace you're scheming. <br /><br />I'm afraid I take after my parents when it comes to packing for a trip. For a week-long trip I feel compelled to bring an easy sock and a hard sock, a shawl, and probably at least two more projects, plus spare needles and some more yarn in case inspiration strikes to whip up a hat. As if that wasn't shameful enough, I also pack my handknits like Barbie packs multiple outfits for a single afternoon. A guy must not chance getting too chilly in the evening because he did not bring a matching shawl.willyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361676985542834823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-34517927409140985572013-07-24T08:18:32.628-05:002013-07-24T08:18:32.628-05:00Clearly, you've got this covered!

So when I don't feel like playing along, I can mindlessly knit and still sing. I also bring my little Jenkins Turkish spindle with me. It's a good outdoor sunny day project and it's Zen-like process keeps me calm.<br />Have fun at your retreat.

Twined knitting is good for trips too, since it's so time-consuming there's no point in bringing that much yarn. (This is often in theory only, though - I usually can't resist adding a sweater project... But I'd rather bring too much than not enough!)
