Ten Things I Learned On Vacation
- Stockinette socks are significantly faster to knit than patterned ones - even ribbed.
- Yarn that yields a firm fabric at 7.5 sts/in still makes a decent weight pair of socks that are not too thick for most of my shoes.
- If I need to get a lot of knitting done in short order I should travel. More specifically - ride the airport shuttle and fly places.
- Knitters are resourceful people who don’t let the lack of certain tools stand in their way of making progress.
- No matter where you are there is likely another knitter or a relative of a knitter within viewing distance.
- Do not start a conversation with another knitter unless you have at the very least 20 minutes to spare.
- 60 stitch socks RAWK!
- Knots in self-patterning yarn SUCKS!
- The sheen of bamboo content in yarn is irresistible.
- Always pack additional sizes of knitting needles.
I’m home safe and sound. But, as always happens when gone, the work piles up. I’ll be back soon with more tails of my adventures in Minnesota.
