Crochet or Knit Projects On The Go

Crocheters and knitters are blessed with the opportunity to choose little projects to take with them no matter where they go. I suppose quilters can do the same thing.

Toss a small skein of yarn and a hook or pair of needles into a small bag and you are all set for idle moments.

Today I had a lot of those moments. I happened to have my "project bag" in the back seat of the car today when I needed to spend time at the ER with a household member. My "project bag" is just a zippered "travel" bag - the type you toss shampoo, deodorant, dental stuff and other toiletries into when you travel.

Currently, I have some mint green fingering yarn in there and a G hook. One of my fave preemie blankie patterns is deeply engraved into my brain, so I don't even carry the pattern any longer.

For this type of activity, I make sure what I work on will not be too long and hang down to the floor, or too bulky.

I finished the preemie blankie today and re-loaded my project bag to toss back into the car tomorrow.

I automatically grab that bag when I go anywhere that might require my being idle for more than 15 minutes at a time.

Yep, we sure are blessed, we crocheters and knitters. Now, go through your patterns and your yarn or thread, and figure out what to toss into your own project bag - dishcloths, caps, potholders, trims, or even squares to join later. Be ready to have fun no matter where you are.
