Jaywalking on a plane …
Socks are a lot better as traveling companions than sitting-at-home knitting. I’ve managed to start two socks and make significant progress while sitting on airplanes. They fold up well — I’m using only Magic Loop because the 80-point DPN triangulation makes me want to hurt someone. They’re soft. They give you an instant “Cool …” factor when people ask what you’re knitting, you tell them, and they can immediately recognize the thing that’s dangling from your pointy objects.
My problem, as always, is just finishing the darn things. I have a Thuja ready for toe grafting but I can’t find the blasted sock. I know it’s somewhere in my living room, but I have no idea where. That’s why I now also have one-third of a Jaywalker. (I’ve made progress since I took this picture and sent it to Adelle from the airplane stop.) It’s on a different needle size, you see, so I’m able to get going with it. I just need to actually FINISH an entire pair, and I’ll feel much better.
Still not entirely sold on knitting socks all the time at home, though. I still have an Eris that needs to be finished, an Audrey that should have been knit last year, and a couple of other things. I do have a ball winder and swift now, though, so that should help!!
And yes, these socks are all from stash. Yay me!
