There are many possible strategies for travel knitting. There are mindless pieces for nervous travelers and more intricate work for people who are easily bored - although elbow and stash room must be taken into account. One would hardly make a tolerable airplane seat mate with elbows flapping through a difficult chunk of knitting.
I tend to prefer lace and socks when I visit the old homestead. Both use very little yarn and can vary between engaging and mindless knitting. Besides, they produce something both lovely and cozy. Regardez:
I suspect that my little sister could wear socks on her ears and still look chic. She had her 20th birthday a few days ago, which is the official age of adulthood in Switzerland, and a grand occasion. I completed my Eiina shawl to give to her - unfortunately, it was in a paper bag with needles still attached. After she opened it, I took it back and promptly completed the last row and the tedious crocheted bind off.
Do you hear that, Gweese? I CROCHETED FOR YOU. Now that's love.
More holiday knits to come. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with food that evokes savory memories, something that sparkles in the cold, and someone who warms your heart.

Lovely, shawl. Tres chic! Lovely girl, too. How would she get socks to stay on her ears?
Very pretty! I love the color.
