Traveling While Knitting - Airport Knitting

I admit, I pack my knitting before I pack my clothes...and probably put more planning and thought into my knitting projects!

I have finally developed the perfect knitting set up for travel! I had a project that used 1 ball of 100g yarn and 5 mini skeins. Before I left, I caked them all up and put them in a yarn cozy and put the mini skeins in nylons. The made them secure and so they wouldn't fall apart in my bag and get tangled.

I selected a pattern that was super easy to knit in the round and not pay attention to counting or anything! I knit a new version of one of my designs using mini-skeins and I'll share some pics when I finish it!! I also love knitting the co-pilot cowl when I travel! We have kits in the shop for knitting this. It's a remix of a free pattern I found on Ravelry.

Some other tips...

I cast on the project at home so that I wouldn't have to do that while traveling (and count my stitches a million times)
I used interchangeable needles JUST in case TSA said I couldn't have them, then I could just give them the tips and keep my project on the needles...but they didn't bat an eye!!
And of course, I accidently packed a project bag that matched my luggage! :)

I love knitting in the airport, it really passes the time. And binge-watching movies while you fly cross country and knit until your arm falls off is pretty much my favorite thing EVER!!!!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!): Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here: Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!
