Train Trip

I went to visit Mom for Mother's Day and a few days after, as you know. I gave her the blue yarn I spun (Yippee! All done spinning sweater!!), cast on, and settled down to visit.

But get this! I drove there with my sister in law, and so I had no way to come home but by TRAIN! Yes. After more than a month of insane busy-ness, I actually had an enforced 8 hrs of undisturbed, totally alone (except for strangers) knitting time!

I bought this to hold my sock project.

I bought this to hold my knitting, CD player with book on tape, and lunch. Ok, yes, there is chocolate.

I taught a young girl to knit during my train change at Union Station in Chicago. She borrowed sock needles and yarn, but I didn't let her keep them. I might have if they had been big needles and bigger yarn, but it was too cruel to give a beginner 2's to keep! Not to mention my freshly spun sock yarn!

And, even though the pattern slows me down, I made a lot of progress on the sweater.




I promise, my next post will actually be about spinning. I'm home now and I have my eye on some linen/flax blend top!
