That Travel Knitting I Was Talking About
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

I told you that travel was good for knitting.
There's that mish-mash of lace in progress, otherwise known as Frost Flowers and Leaves . .
Merino Lace Socks
Pattern: from Interweave's Favorite Socks Book
Yarn: Blueberry sock yarn from Ball and Skein
Needles: US 1 dpns
Notes: No real changes from the pattern, although given the short and stubby legs that run in my family I only did 2 repeats of the lace pattern for the leg instead of 2 1/2.
Best Thing About This Project: Cute. Socks. And look how nice and elegant the lace pattern looks in this darker-than-usual yarn. Surprising, but I went with my gut instinct on this one and it all worked out just fine.
All in all, not bad for a couple of plane trips.Labels: General Knitting, Lace, Socks

Makes me want to go get on a plane, if only so I can have some uninterrupted knitting time!
Very pretty socks!
I'm jealous of your nice long spans of travel knitting! The blueberry socks are beautiful and the
Frost Flowers lace looks pretty even all scrunched up!
Yep! I am even looking forward to my 5-hour layover in Chicago next week with knitting needles in hand! It looks like you have some metal needles on your shawl - did they make it through airplane security okay? I'm wondering if I can take my Addi-Nauturas onboard. What do you think?
Did I already say somewhere else on your blog that I am making those exact same socks with nearly identical yarn? We'll have to be sock twins when we next see each other.
I hope things are far less smoky in your part of the world today!
Very pretty! The dark color does work well with the pattern. I bet Frost Flowers and Leaves is going to look spectacular! The yarn you choose is so amazing.
You're good. I usually stick to stockinette stitch or simple ribbing when I'm on a plane. Love the way the socks turned out!
