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

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Well I have just recently gotten a job and I have to use 2 different bus  
transit services to get where I am going.  So I leave from home and then  get 
driven to a hospital lobby the next town over and sit there waiting for the 
 other transportation service to pickk me up.  Now our New Haven, CT "My  
Ride" has proven to be quite an unpredictable challenge.  The first part of  
my trip usually takes 15 minutes, but the next part has been averaging any 
where  from 25 minutes up to 2 and a half hours.  So I have begun taking my  
knitting.  I have been able to knit a baby sweater completely in 2 trips  
back and forth from work.
 
I would rather be sitting at work being paid for that time instead of  
sitting in a bus van riding all over the place or sitting and waiting in a  
hospital lobby.  There has been days that I have been at work for 3 and a  half 
hours and the bus trip has lasted over 4 hours going and coming.  From  my 
house to my place of work it is 19 1/2 miles.

Well, I take my knitting.  I bring a bag and put the ball of yarn  in it 
so that it won't roll around on the floor if I'm on a Greyhound or  plane. 
I've mainly done it on the Greyhound because it gives me something  to do 
while riding.  I'm sure that if I knew how to crochet, I could  do a lot of 
squares for a project.  Maybe some of you out there have  had that 
experience.  Hey, I like these Friday questions.   thanks.

Regards,

Denise
