For all intents and purposes, I was off the grid last week. I was on
the east coast visiting Bob’s family and then I spent four days on the
Jersey shore. Bob’s brother and his wife have a lovely home that I
begged to borrow for a knitting retreat with a friend. My friend has
recently moved from Europe to Puerto Rico. That climate change
threatened to put a damper on Jody’s knitting passion for knitting.
I suggested she focus on socks. You can use practically any stitch
pattern on a sock that you would use on a sweater. No worry about
becoming bored. Jody and her husband also travel a lot – A LOT! What
could be more portable, or airport security friendly, than a sock(s)?
In the interest of full disclosure, Jody has not exactly had positive
experiences knitting socks. She is a relaxed knitter like me but she
gets even more relaxed as she knits. So the socks magically grew. I was
convinced that if she worked on her socks from the toe-up, she would be
more successful.
