Great tips for knitting while traveling! As much as I’d like to believe I’ll knit on the plane, I have to be honest with myself and put my knitting in the checked bag to ensure my needles aren’t confiscated unnecessarily. I can hardly get comfortable enough on a plane to knit even on small projects. Visiting local yarn shops and connecting with other crafters is sage advice, on my current travel I’ve had the privilege of doing both and I’ll never forget the experiences 😊.

Your kiddo(s) amaze me yet again with their skills and crafts. Kudos to you and the other adults in their lives instilling these awesome skills.

Can’t wait to see the True Nature Tee all finished! Soon come

Jodie, such a fun site with so many wonderful links and insights! I'm up here in the Pacific NW of the US. But no worries, great crafting tips know no boundaries! Crafting while traveling is a great way to start conversations. Sometimes with people who also craft and many times with people who want to learn how to knit, crochet or whatever needlework you are doing. It is also a way to learn from fellow travelers about new locations! I like to take-in the scenery when traveling on the road, so I tend to take very easy projects like long scarfs, or afghans that are done in blocks or long panels to be stitched together later. This keeps the tools and yarn down to a minimum and allows me to keep an eye on where we are. Looking forward to seeing your pretty new Tee!
