A year ago Younger Soknitsome Daughter spent 6 months commuting from Cologne to Frankfurt Airport for an internship. There’s a high-speed train so the journey takes 50 minutes station-to-station. When I told my best knitting buddy about the commute her comment mirrored my first thought – Think of all that knitting time! (said with pronounced longing!).
This week I am spending the best part of a day in aeroplanes. I’m really happy about this as I get to see Mr Soknitsome after 7 weeks and 3 days. And I have 2 flights of ten hours in which I can eat, catch up on films, read and knit to my heart’s content.
So my Kindle is full and I’ve already figured out what projects I’ll be working on en route: socks! Why? Because
- They are easy to get through airport security if you use bamboo DPNs.
- They are easy to carry around anyway, and I will be out and about by myself during the week.
- I have to get 2 pairs finished for presents before the end of October so I may as well get started on them now.
Mr Soknitsome will be busy at work and a little part of me wonders whether I might actually have more time to knit than wool so I’m considering whether I should not just squeeze in the beginnings of a cardigan too…I wouldn’t like to be sitting there with nothing to do 😉

worst case, if you run out of wool, get to a LYS 😉

Happy knitting. 🙂 And take some extra yarn just in case. Or better yet, go shopping for some. All the best, and keep us posted with lots of pics.

I guess I shouldn’t fill my case with yarn so the ‘worst’ case scenario will be searching out a shop 😉 Photos will follow…

My boyfriend lives a 3.5 hour train away from me, and those hours knitting are ONE of the reasons why I love going to visit

It’s always better to have too much knitting than not enough…however, it does make for a wonderful excuse to go yarn shopping at your destination!! 🙂
