Bon Voyage

It started out innocently. I just really wanted a new spring-y tote bag for my knitting projects. I was tired of carrying around the same ole dark, wintery, dirty, (diaper bag) knitting totes.

Sorry for the dark photo, it doesn't do justice to the beautiful Kaffe Fasset fabric.

It even has a zipper! Oooh, aaaah.

Within a half hour of owning my beautiful new tote bag, somebody tried to steal it. Good thing I love her.


So, I promised to make another one. Just for her.


What a can of worms that opened up! It's been tote bag city. At least my youngest knows what to put in hers:


I doled them out today, in time for the Spring Break pack fest. I tried to get a photo shoot with all three, but one of the models couldn't be bothered to show up. He was too busy coloring.

Darn those unreliable models.

So tonight I'm concentrating on the most important aspect of the trip, the knitting. I have three bags packed, and still I'm a little panicky that I don't have enough.


On the left, in the hard bin (the bury-in-the-back bin, for just in case) we have Remembering Honey, with extra yarn, and also that black thing in the corner is the black Debbie Bliss raglan I started in January. In the middle, three socks started, plus two extra balls. On the right in the tote is yarn for the daisy dress. On the floor are the directions to St. Theresa's Textile Trove in Cincinnati, in case my Jedi mind tricks work, and the van decides to take a quick detour.

Do I have enough? Will there be emergency yarn shops along the way? Hope you all have a great week and I'll see you when we get back.
