Knitting in the Car

June 17, 2009 By Mindy

17 Jun

Last weekend, we drove down to my mom's house.  If all of us are going, then I usually don't drive.  I load up the iPod with knitting podcasts and knit for the majority of the trip.  A three hour trip down and back adds up to a lot of knitting time.

I cast on for the Lace Ribbon Scarf immediately after finishing my handwarmers.  I ended up ripping out everything I had knit because I completely wonked up a row, and I cast on again in the car.  The yarn I am using is Knitting Notions Classic Merino Bamboo in Winter Sky.  I bought this at the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival.  I think the yarn and the pattern are a perfect match.

Sometimes this is the only time I get to put my feet up and knit uninterrupted.

Juliana slept for most of the trip down.  Liam slept for part of the trip.

I finished two repeats of the pattern.  I think maybe I need a chauffer.
