Vacation Knitting — Part 1
Now that I’ve caught up with everything that piled up while I was on vacation I can catch you up on my travel knitting.
Socks are always my favorite car project. I can knit, talk, and watch the scenery all at the same time. On this trip I learned that I can also babysit the GPS while working on a pair of socks. [By the way, the GPS has been named “Shirley” because my husband kept saying, “Surely, she’s crazy!”]
The pattern is a simple 8-stitch repeat that I could keep just by watching the results. It spirals around the foot like the Blue Ridge Parkway curls through the mountains. When it was time for the foot, the pattern decided that it needed to use switchbacks to climb from the toe to the ankle.
We were on the way home while I was knitting the second sock, so it had to spiral the opposite direction. After all, balance is the keep to a happy existence, right?
P.S. The yarn is Crazyfoot from Mountain Colors, and the design will be available the last week in July.
