[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: Crafts on the go

[River Woman]

I need to plan on what to take to work on when traveling to Puerto Rico 
tuesday,and while I am there, and on the way back home.  It will be 
knitting - but have not yet figured out just what the project will be.  It 
might be a good time to begin working on the Twisted Cowl out of the baby 
alpaca and silk yarn I just got. Small project and easy to carry on the 
trip. hmmmmm
When I leave I will be wearing my new knitted Stockinette Stitch Shrug that 
I just finished recently. It is a free pattern through Lion Brand. I made it 
from LODGE which is a JoAnn's store brand yarn. It is really pretty in 
greens and blues. Perfect to wear instead of a jacket or coat and should be 
great for traveling.
