Post Nine Preparing for travel

After reading throught the next few steps on Eris I decided that this would not be a good pattern to travel with. Leaving on Monday for a week in Baltimore with Anna to get her settled at Johns Hopkins for her sophomore year I'll need a couple of projects, but not one that requires a 3 ring binder to hold the pattern.
So the projects will include- Mountain Colors Bearfoot socks for Jim will be finished by then so I'll start another pair of socks, always an easy traveller. Color choices are blue Regia stripes or Steinbach Wolle aktiv effect in burgundy, blude and green. The "accent color" is needed because Jim likes tall long socks and 2 balls of Regia won't make a pair.

Anna's lacy Interweave Knit-inspired one-button cardigan is nearing completion. The front band/shawl collar needs another 3 inches, then sew in the sleeves and sew on the button and it's done. I'll take that, finished or not.

And for me - I started the second Hoxbro shadow knit kimono last night, love the yarn, the colors, and the pattern. That should do it for travel.
