What’s this - new knitting?
Why yes, it is! This week’s cast-on, again brought to us by Southwest Airlines, the BWI Airport taxi system, and soon to be sponsored by the Washington, D.C. metro system*, is my second attempt at Jaywalkers. I’m really hoping that these socks don’t end up as a donation to Southwest Airline’s lost and found. They’re intended as a Christmas gift!
Other pictures are at Flickr, and I’ll post ones showing more progress once I actually have some. Still, this isn’t bad for about 1.5 hours on a plane and in the taxi!
The five-year-old next to me on the plane was fascinated by my knitting. I was fascinated by him, because he looked at my yarn and needles and asked, “What are you knitting?” Very impressive, little man! His mother said she doesn’t knit, so extra impressive.
Then he looked at the yarn cake and exclaimed, “That’s a lot of yarn! You know how much yarn I think it is? I bet it’s a 100!”
I told him (and his surprised mom), “You know what? You’re exactly right. That’s about 100 grams of yarn.”
I think that made his five minutes.
*This sponsorship has nothing to do with proposed Metro rate increases, trust me.
