On the Road Again….
Decisions, decisions! I’m about to head west to visit family for the weekend and I must decide what projects to take with me. I have learned the hard way that I will never leave home again without some sort of craft to occupy the smallest nooks and crannies of free time. I cannot stand having idle time and idle hands. Can you relate?!
Thank you, airlines, for not taking away my constitutional right to carry hooks and needles on the plane. I’ll have to leave those nail clippers at home because they’re deadly weapons but my crafting tools are just fine 🙂 God forbid that I should have to take the chance of packing these goodies in my checked bag and that bag not making it to its destination. I can do without a change of clothes but the crafty stuff is a necessity.
Here’s where things get a little dicey. I always have multiple projects running because, quite honestly, I think I have ADD when it comes to knitting and crocheting. That doesn’t mean I can’t finish a project (although there are plenty of UFO’s in my stash), just that I get bored working on the same thing all of the time. Besides, a girl should never be confined to one choice.
So, here’s my dilemma. I’m only going to be away for 3 1/2 days. Not much time, right? Au contraire, mon ami! Much can be accomplished while sitting in the airport, or when the iPad is stowed during takeoff and landing, or while just sitting around visiting with the family. So this is important, people!
Let’s see…the 100+ flowers I need to crochet for the Making Strides Breast Cancer 5K…
…the Birthday Cake Cowl with fabulous yarn for moi…
…the Chunky Tulip Stitch Infinity Scarf that will find it’s way to Etsy…
…or, the Bear Hugs Knit Scarf made with Homespun?
Well, because the flowers have to be done in a couple of weeks and I only have about 40 made so far, that’s a no-brainer – it’s going. As for the second choice (there has to be a second choice because of the aforementioned ADD) I’ll get back to you on that and show you my progress when I return.
Until then…..
