Glad you asked Susan. I was wondering that too.

And, it seems to get rid of the sizing or stiffness in the fabric and they look so much nicer - makes the knitted stitches flow into a lovely fabric.

I decided to begin work on the _Reader's Wrap_ by Lisa Knits (pattern). I started it and will continue to work on it during the trip. I will put my yarn and project and some tools in a felted tote bag that I made last fall and have not used it yet. It should be perfect as it is very soft and I can squiggle it under my seat on the plane with no problem and it is light weight and easy to carry on the trip, too.My daughter is arriving here tomorrow and she will be the dog sitter while we are away. the dogs are very spoiled, and the one has to be read to each evening, I have told her. She, the dog, likes to have a chapter read aloud from whatever book my husband is reading - haha - seriously, she really does sit and listen while he reads to her. It is hysterical.
