good project for a road trip. . .

Knitting socks with self patterning yard is magical. . .you simply knit round and around on tiny double pointed needles, and the yarn itself creates the designs and stripes-it's simple!

So-this little project is a good one for a long road trip. John and I drive off to the west coast this week; we'll be gone from home for more than a month, visiting both familiar and unfamiliar places, many dear friends and family. . . anticipating adventures and opportunites (although it's always hard for me to leave the opportunities right close to home!)
hmmm, I wonder how many different beds we'll sleep in this month?

Perhaps I'll complete this pair of socks (you know, it takes 8 hours to drive out of Texas). . .perhaps a baby sweater too. . .a few good books. . .uninterrupted conversation-all worthy pursuits.
Lord willing, we'll keep in touch. . .

Have a safe trip, dear Darcie...
Maybe you can sneak in a post while you are gone.
If not, "see" you when you return.
