On Friday I resolved my all-consuming dilemma: What knitting to take on the ship?
Clockwise, from top left: Lace scarf (in the pink bag), sock yarn, and a stack of instructions for knitting socks; yarn for lace scarf; yarn for baby blanket; assorted yarns in case I want to make a hat or something; yarn for super pretty scarf that will make me happy as I knit. The needles I need for these various projects are in the middle. I’m also going to knit wristwarmers for myself on the way to Dutch Harbor. Three flights, none shorter than three hours – I think I’ll have time.
This is probably way too much knitting, but I’d really hate to run out, and there’s no real restriction on how much stuff I take (this all fits into one tiny duffel bag).
Will you be able to get knitting needles onto the plane?
Yup. Well, these will be checked, so no one will care. The ones I’ll be working with on the plane are plastic. (Well, and I’ll probably have two metal needles on me, too…I hope they don’t take them.)
