It's amazing how much one can get done when you're confined on a plane, subway, or bus, or in a dorm room with no TV. Although I didn't get everything completed that I intended, I did get quite a bit of knitting done on my trip back east. (And I will finish Lola's Short-Row Hat in time for Christmas!)
I first worked on the Monkey socks and am ready to turn the heel, but I'm procrastinating since this is my first short-row heel attempt.
I started the Moss Grid Hand Towel:
And, I finished not one, not two, not three . . . but SIX Lizard Ridge Squares! That brings my total up to 17 now!
I even had to buy more Noro in Boston because I was on a roll! Only 13 more and I'll be ready for finishing - I have to say, I'm not looking forward to that part!
On my way home, I decided to restart my Jaywalkers. Now that I actually read the pattern correctly, I really, really like this pattern.
The good news is, I did get a lot of knitting done during my recent travels - the bad news is that most of it was for me - not my Christmas knitting. I need to get in gear with that! But the other good news is that in 3 weeks we'll be on vacation in North Carolina. We're driving, and then spending a week here with Steve and Ginger, so there'll be plenty of quality knitting time! I can't wait!

Gah. I started Jaywalkers yesterday. Once you got into the pattern section how long did it take for the increases and decreases to look right? Mine don't look raised like yours do.

That looks like a WONDERFUL vacation spot! It's definitely going on my list of places to visit!
