Knitting by Air


Week 29 = Travel Knitting
Day 5 = July 20, 2014


knitting on the plane


     When choosing your knitting for a plane trip, the "sky's" the limit. Tee-hee-hee, pun intended. I have been waiting all week to type that line.


for airplane knitting!


     Knitting on plane trips is great. You have large amounts of uninterrupted time where you are sitting down. Perfect! You do have to consider the size of your project. While you are waiting to board your flight, there might be plenty of arm room, but don't count on it during your flight. So a medium to small sized project is ideal.


Airplane knitting means...what? Three guesses and the first two don't count.


     If you are planning on zoning out everyone around you, the difficulty level of the pattern does not matter. But if you plan on chatting with your neighbor or allowing them to interrupt you, a non-complicated pattern would do better.

    Small children again can be an issue depending on how much trust you have in your child not to start running full speed away from you. Long repeating patterns can be ok, but be aware of your time constraints. Also, pay attention to when your flight is landing. My final tip - while in a plane,
 be very wary of combining small children, knitting and drinks... it can be disastrous, believe me.
