So I’m headed to CA for an extended weekend, visiting friends and teaching at Purlescence. I am a fairly light packer in terms of clothes, so aside from class supplies I was feeling pretty streamlined.
Then I planned and packed the knitting.

Let’s be clear.
I’m quite a fast knitter, really. But not even I can knit two sweaters and finish a third in 5 days. Not while teaching and spending time having fun with friends. Still, it does pay to have insurance against long plane flights. (I’m not the only one who does this, right?)
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, you might be interested in giving a listen to the Yarn Thing podcast from yesterday. I’m the guest, and we’re giving away a pretty cool prize–listen to find out how to enter!
