One of my favorite things to do is knit. I love feeling the yarn, seeing the pattern come to life, and creating something for a loved one. With the holidays right around the corner (how did that happen??) it’s time to get make some serious progress on my gifts! Luckily I’ve got plenty of plane…
Last spring I posted about having a hard time figuring out knitting projects that were small enough to take on a plane, and that were not hats. I got a lot of great suggestions from readers, with socks and small toys topping the list. Unfortunately, due to being busy and just tired, I didn’t knit…

A few trips ago, I packed all of my normal stuff for a plane ride: iPhone, Kindle, magazine, snacks, and knitting. It was only once I was on the actual flight that I realized I had forgotten to wind my yarn, and so had a pretty much useless skein. In my early morning purse packing,…
