Just got a shipment of new yarn-Manos. I have been wanting this for some time and now we have it. There is a poncho (Vagabond) just screaming my name!!! Could be my airplane knitting. People are always telling me that you can't knit on an airplane. I fly at least 5-6 times a year and have never had the needles taken away. Small tip though-take bamboo circular needles. These don't show up when they scan your bags. Also, don't tell them that you have knitting needles. I have had Air Canada flight attendants in the store and they tell me that knitting is allowed on airplanes.
I have written down all the important information so I will try and post while away. Can't guarantee that there will be time. Might be partying in Vegas and sleeping in San Diego.
Already have dinner reservations at our favourite restaurant in the whole world for Wednesday night. N9NE at the Palms Casino. Amazing steakhouse. Desert is S'mores. Bev barely eats steak so that she can eat all the desert. They bring out a small bunson burner so that you can roast the marshmellows!!
It is now 8pm. I am watching the Barrett-Jackson Auction on tv. So far there has been more than one car that I would love to drive. I really need to win the lottery. Have been contemplating my knitting. There will be no knitting on the airplane-I am going to read. Don't get much time for that so I will put on my Ipod and relax. Knitting is packed in the suitcase-you just never know when you might want to knit-like during football on Sunday afternoon. The green Sirdar aran has won. I hope to get some done for a good picture when I get home.
Have a good week-I get back late Thursday night so I will try and get pictures up on Friday.
For the non-believers out there, according to this Canadian Air Transportation website (http://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/english/travel_voyage/list.htm#dangerousarticles), knitting needles ARE allowed on airplanes. -- Scroll down to the "Dangerous Articles/Sharp Objects section.
ReplyDeleteJulie, that poncho is nice. I don't know if I could knit on a plane or if I could even read for that matter. I've never been on a plane and think I'd need a lot of sedatives to get to the point where I could go on. *lol* Have a great flight! :)
Oops, for some reason the link didn't show up properly.
