Between work and fun in the next few weeks, I have quite a bit of travel coming up. This week, I'm heading to NYC for a conference for work. I was very excited to get the invitation from my company (a bit flattering), and while I do look forward to seeing what the event is all about the most exciting bit is...the knit kit! I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Based on my prior posts about the knit knack drama I am prone to because of my general clumsiness on airplanes, you will understand that this will be good for me.
It always seems like if I'm told to remain seated for a couple hours (ie - the Detroit to NYC leg of the trip) that I should take advantage of the time to use something pattern-centric. But by the time I get the pattern, stitch counter, stitch markers, etc. out things get a little crowded. I think the knit kit is going to change that for me.
The question then becomes...what shall I work on? The socks that I meant to be for ludistitcher have turned out to be, as xandermommy put it "huge" (slouchy on me, I have bigger feet than ludistitcher). So, I am thinking that I could start additional socks in her size and then let her have the not-yet-on-the-needles pair (which presumably fits) and she could also have the big ones for around the house socks. This opens up the opportunity for something pattern-ish. I'm going to browse ravelry tonight to seek inspiration. I would like to finish both pairs before the Sock Wars battle begins. Feel free to insert laughter or comments of "oh, sariebeth, you will never finish two pairs of socks in two weeks!" here. Optimism, people!

You don't have to make 2 pairs of socks for me! The slouchy ones would probably shrink a bit with some gentle dryer time anyway.
