I just got back from a visit to my DH’s family in Pennsylvania. We drove there and back, which in hindsight was not a great plan – it took 2 days each way! We did get to see a few sights, and stopped to visit with Alissa of AlissaMakes and her DH, which was a real treat 🙂
Other than that, we did a quick stop at the American Giants museum and a stop at Mosser Glass. Mosser Glass was pretty cool if you are interested in pressed glass. I’m not super into it, but its also doesn’t take long to go through it, so on balance, worth a stop. There was not as much as you would think to see or do at the American Giants museum.
But mainly what I did was knit. Four full days of car travel and four days visiting with family = eight days of knitting!

I cast these on the day before we left and bound them off about an hour from home on the way back. If we ever do this trip again, I’m definitely doing socks as my road trip project!
The yarn is a Perfect Pairs set in the Equinox colorway from Must Stash. I love how vibrant the colors are, and it is very nice yarn to knit with as well. I didn’t use a pattern, just did my toe-up 2 at a time usual recipe.
As usual, working on catching up with reading everyone’s blogs!
Beautiful colors!

Socks are a perfect travel project! Especially when it’s a pattern you already know well like that.

Yes, definitely! Minimal supplies and equipment, and not trying to juggle papers or a tablet 🙂

Sadly, I don’t have any sock patterns memorized well enough to avoid bringing papers with me. Even with simple socks I need to reference heel & toe numbers. But still, I can generally put that on just one page, so there’s not much to juggle.
