No Fluff Friday

 

Since the Tour will be over on Sunday, I'll wait and do my fluff post on Monday. Instead, I'd rather whine about the projects that I packed for our trip this week. I get four hours of gloriously uninterrupted knitting time on the way up and back but this week I pretty much sat in a big huff because of my poor planning. Exhibit A: My two on one needle socks are ready for their gussets but I can't do that on one needle. Too fiddly so I always separate them until that part is done. Did I bring an extra needle to do this? Nope. 

Exhibit B: The socks I'm knitting separately are in the same place as the twofers but I discovered that I had a split stitch in one of them in the black area. Rather than pull the whole heel flap out I thought that I could fix it with a small crochet hook but did I have one in my bag? Nope. 

Exhibit C: I couldn't even spin because silly me had packed an empty spindle and the last bit of that purple fiber. That was dumb because I already had a spindle started with that fiber on it and why do another splice with so small an amount. I should have packed the already in progress spindle. I was kicking myself for two days.

And...Exhibit D: Adding insult to injury, I had thought I was being clever to buy a watermelon at a grocery store that was down the street from Daughter's house. They were half the price that they are here.  Did I remember to bring it home with me? Nope.
