One of the challenges when packing for any extended travel is, how much knitting to bring. It can be a tough decision especially when you're almost done with a project, aren't 100% sure how much longer it's going to take, or if you're going to have time to work on it.
I spent the Thanksgiving holiday with extended family in Connecticut. While packing for the trip I brought along a hat I'd been working recently on during my morning commute.
While packing, I couldn't decide whether or not to bring along more yarn, just in case I finished the hat. After everything was all said and done, I decided against it because of space constraints.
It proved to be a bad decision.
I finished the hat late Thanksgiving and was without knitting for a full three days.
Non-knitters may not get how challenging it is not to be without a project for a few days. They're probably thinking, "But it's only three days!" Yes, I've gone more than three days without knitting in the past, but the *option* to knit was there. When the option is taken away because of poor planning, three days seems like an eternity.
So, when you pack for your next trip and are unsure whether or not to bring extra knitting just to be safe. The answer should always be yes.
