So. We're on our way to California for a couple of weeks, and our connecting flight is delayed by a couple of hours. Live-bloggng the airport!
They've got these murals that don't make any sense unless you go up a floor.
At which point they become reasonably clever.
Bradley was the one who noticed, and found the totally uncrowded seating area above the gate...
Blogging instead of knitting in order to give my hands a rest. When we landed we were up to hour 6 of travel time, and I've pretty much been knitting on this sock straight through it. It was begun back around Thanksgiving, worked through the heel turn, then put away around Christmas for the sweater for Logan. I'm using the basic toe-up pattern on magic loop from Laura Chau's completely awesome book, Teach Yourself Visually Sock Knitting, which I won in her blog giveaway late last year. Pulled it back out this morning and have put at least 4 inches on it. For plain socks I could probably call it good about here and begin the second one, but I want this to be kneehigh with calf shaping. About halfway through the flight, I realized that the visual progress was slowing down because the rows were getting so much bigger than this morning. So far I've increased my stitch count by 50%, and will need to get up to twice the original number at the widest point. That topmost blue stripe? took me the entire 2.5hr flight to get through. The giant chunk of various greens? mostly done on the 2hr drive to the airport.
Colors are of course more awesomely Noro when not being photographed in an airport terminal.
Boarding time!
I am really loving that book. Thank you for telling me about it.
