Off to Europe: A bit of knitting to say Bon Voyage

Just finished packing for our 2 week trip and let me say the clothes were far easier to pack then the knitting. Questions running through my mind...."Will the TSA take this away from me?, Will they let me have 5 different types of needles?, Do I have to have something on the needles? How many skeins of yarn is too many? How many socks can I finish in a 2 week period? Should I take the tank top to or would 3 pairs of socks and a tank be too many things?"

These are just a few of the things I had to ponder while packing up my knitting. What I have decided is that I will only take the socks - because if by chance I finish all of that knitting I also am bringing a book and as much as I want to take all of my projects - that would require another bag.

So even though these are pictures of projects I finished sometime ago - I wanted to share some of my 'firsts'.


Below is my first 'me' project. The pattern is from Debbie Bliss and I used a cotton blend for my version.
This is a hat I made for my father-in-law for christmas.
Lastly my very own 'fetching' gloves.







Enjoy and Happy Memorial Day! Here's to Grilling, Swimming, Knitting, and Family time or whatever you have planned for this beautiful weekend!!!
