Plane Knitting

I’m in Ft. Lauterdale for the next 2 hours, waiting for the connecting flight to Detroit to get here. All this airport waiting makes me crazy. Wonderfully, the wireless here is free, and my battery is charged. My sister is bored and crazy, and entertaining us by quoting the entire dinner scene from Talladaga Nights. My parents are still in St. Thomas. They kicked us out a week early. I’m tan, I baked myself for 4 and a half days. I jumped off a 10 foot cliff into the caribbean in Virgin Gorda, after climbing up the perilous and slippery rocks at The Baths. My Red Light Special is keeping me busy, and if I knit fast enough I might just finish it before we land in Detroit.

I’ve also come prepared with 2 socks in progress,and extra yarn, just in case.

Isn’t it awesome, this world of technology? I can take photos of my wip, right in the airport, upload it immediately, resize it, and blog it with extreme ease. Lovely.

    Your Red Light Special is wonderful! Are you using the Knit Picks yarn?

    My dad calls wireless technology “Black Magic.” Of course, he remembers the days when radio was a novelty and television hadn’t yet been invented. Crazy stuff.

    Wow, your hat is looking awesome! I was afraid to take my Red Light Special on the bus, what with all those balls of yarn and stuff, but if you can knit on a plane, I guess I shouldn’t be afraid of bringing it on the bus!
