On-the-road knitting
While on our road trip I had lots of time for knitting. Although prone to motion sickness, I did discover that I can easily work in stocking stitch as long as I don’t need to look down much.
Eloise came along nicely. The photos show this first ball (the ribbing) of my Eloise sweater by Jane Ellison and the completed back and one of the fronts. I had to put the project on hold because I wanted to use a nifty gadget I have for placing button holes (which I left at home) before knitting the second front. I would have started on the sleeves but I think something’s missing from the pattern and wanted to do a bit of research before working on them. Now that I’m back home, I haven’t had a chance to do that yet.
I discovered that for me working on gloves and lace on the road were a no no. In the hotel rooms at night I was able to work on more taxing projects or any special shaping or fiddly bits.
While driving we had fun trying to spot as many license plates as we could from different provinces and states. Here’s our list in the order in which we saw the plates:
