Vacations
are for Knitting by guest blogger Annie
I’ve always felt that vacations are a great time to knit.
Time on the plane equaled uninterrupted knitting time and then upon arrival at
my chosen destination more time not complicated by the demands of everyday
chores and obligations. I just returned
from my summer vacation and though I had 4 projects in my bag I was able to
knit a mere 360 yards in a week! I had planned my packing well taking along the
following projects: an adult sock yarn sweater which is both mindless and fun,
a toe up pair of socks in a yummy cashmere blend, a Color Affection shawl which
would demand a little more thought but not so much that I couldn’t watch a
movie, and the 2nd sock in a pair that were a present for a
friend. I thought all this should keep
me well entertained and I would return home having made lots of progress.
We all know what they say about best laid plans…..I barely
touched my knitting the entire time I was away. This made me wonder if I’m
alone in my vacation knitting delusions. Do you anticipate vast amounts of
knitting time during vacation only to knit less than you normally do? How many
projects do you take on vacation?
I do know I’ll get a lot of knitting done tomorrow because
it’s WWKIP day and we’ll be meeting from 10am – noonish at the Lucky Bean Café inside
the old Borders store at Sanbusco. Come out and join us, they have tons of
room, really good food and you can knit or spin as long as you’d like.
