i'm going to chicago next week to hook up with my family, and then we're heading to Culver to see the niece & nephew at camp.
i can't travel without a knitting project in my bag. i am (let's just say) "impatient" in airports & on planes. there's only so much reading i can do & besides, i can't stand the thought of producing nothing for 6 or 7 hours.
i was going to take the argyle vest & finish it, but there's not enough knitting left to last 2 airports & planes, & the finishing involves steeking which is probably not something i want to address (for the first time ever) on an airplane.
so i'm taking some #13s & the burly spun with me & whipping up one or two of these.
the inspiration for this project is a neckwarmer in a store window down the street. the shop features some of my favorite japanese designers & their window styling always gets my attention. i keep meaning to snap some photos of their windows but i'm always in too much of a hurry in my neighborhood for strolling with a camera. i can only stroll in someone else's neighborhood, usually in another state.
anyway, the skeins are huge. i see cramming.
