Well, I’ve arrived at my home for the next 3 weeks, and I think airport security guy would tell you I’ve brought more than enough to do. I had a 50lb limit on my luggage. My suitcase weighed 50lbs on the nose when WestJet dude weighed it. I seem to have a knack… the last time I few my two cases (yes, still allowed two!) were 49.5lbs and 49lbs. Just call it my superhero power.
I packed some things just as I keep them at home: in pretty boxes. Boxes make me feel organized. They’re almost as good as lists. This is box #1:
What excitements await us in here?
Oooh, behind door #1 we have knitting! We’ve got the maroony-pink for the Druid Mittens (and the yellow Vogue to go with it), the Classic Elite Classic Silk for the $1.50 cardi (and the IK to prove it), and the orange tencel/merino for the Swallowtail shawl. And yes, I did get that book from the library for this trip, so I haven’t reneged on my ‘no pattern buying in 2008′ deal yet.
Let’s have a yarn close-up, shall we?
Yum! Oh, and don’t worry about the bare Denise ends; I did bring the whole kit with me. Actually, when I first opened this box, and the kit wasn’t in there, I had a little freakout. Then, I went on to photograph box #2, and found I’d put the kit in there because there was more space.
Speaking of box #2….
…that’s post for tomorrow!
