Travel knitting

I have finished finals for what should be my very last semester EVER of undergraduate studies.  As long as all professors involved get my grades in by December 30, 2007, I graduate and I am DONE.  This means I have a LOT more time for knitting now!

We’re headed to France for vacation tomorrow, and I stood over my knitting boxes puzzling over what I should bring.  I wanted Eris to be finished (it isn’t) so that I could wear it around freezing cold French countryside.  Will suggested bringing it with me, but it still needs sleeves, then weaving in, then blocking, then adding the zipper.  I don’t want to take that much time and that much yarn!  At this stage, Eris isn’t exactly a portable project …

I’m thinking about frogging the “Sydney Socks” that I started to make while I was on an airplane for bazillions of hours going to and from Sydney.  I think I want to do the Monkey socks (like everyone and his or her dog) but I can’t make up my mind.  Whatever form or pattern it takes, that project will go with me.  If I can find the socks I’m making for Mom, those will come with me too.

I think that I’ll take Something Purple with me, too. I’m still on the first skein of yarn, so this is definitely at the pack-and-go stage.

I’m just so glad to have time to knit again!
