Great tips for knitting while traveling! As much as I’d like to believe I’ll knit on the plane, I have to be honest with myself and put my knitting in the checked bag to ensure my needles aren’t confiscated unnecessarily. I can hardly get comfortable enough on a plane to knit even on small projects. Visiting local yarn shops and connecting with other crafters is sage advice, on my current travel I’ve had the privilege of doing both and I’ll never forget the experiences 😊.
Your kiddo(s) amaze me yet again with their skills and crafts. Kudos to you and the other adults in their lives instilling these awesome skills.
Can’t wait to see the True Nature Tee all finished! Soon come
Thanks so much Tashay. I was traveling on a domestic flight. The airport I left from is in a rural town and wasn't particularly busy, so I got the chance to show the security staff my Zing Aluminum interchangeable needles before I checked my bag in. They gave them the okay and I was pleasantly surprised. I've flown on international flights in the past and my Knit Picks Rainbow Option wooden interchangeable needles had to be placed in my check in bag. As I said, best to check first. Like you no-one wants their needles confiscated!! So lovely to hear that you've had the chance to visit local yarn shops and connect with crafters on your travels.
Thank you for you kind praise of my kiddos skills. Creativity is something we all share and treasure.
I can't seem to knit quickly enough to get the tee finished!!
Jodie, such a fun site with so many wonderful links and insights! I'm up here in the Pacific NW of the US. But no worries, great crafting tips know no boundaries! Crafting while traveling is a great way to start conversations. Sometimes with people who also craft and many times with people who want to learn how to knit, crochet or whatever needlework you are doing. It is also a way to learn from fellow travelers about new locations! I like to take-in the scenery when traveling on the road, so I tend to take very easy projects like long scarfs, or afghans that are done in blocks or long panels to be stitched together later. This keeps the tools and yarn down to a minimum and allows me to keep an eye on where we are. Looking forward to seeing your pretty new Tee!
Thanks so much Sandy. Your ideas for projects to take on the road are great! Yes, you don't want to miss out on the sights around you. I too have had interesting conversations with other crafters when out and about. They always gives me joy. :) Not long to go now with my tee, it's getting exciting!
Great tips always. Delightful projects from your kids as well as the Yarnistas. Thank you for sharing them. And your tee is almost done. It has been lovely watching it progress. Thank you for the generous mentions of my blogpost and sales as always, Jodie. ♥️
I'm yet to do a little story on the sheep character my kid has created. I've named the sheep 'Boobaa' He's been featured in the corner on a few of my project updates pics. I do love the festive hat version.
You've got so much to take care of on your farm! I can imagine it isn't easy for you to travel. Thank you for your kind praise and I feel the same, I can't wait!! :)
