I packed two projects to work on while we were there, but they saw precious little light of day. I was pleased that I got through airport security with my Addis, but when I pulled out my sock to work on while waiting to board the plane, a man across from me started grumbling loudly about how he couldn't believe that was allowed. He also said unkind things about Kate Middleton, so I gave him the stinkeye, but put my knitting away and got out my shiny new Kindle.
One of the projects I brought, I can't talk about yet, but the other is the first in an attempt to deal with my almost-SABLE sized sock yard stash. I joined the Year of Stash Socks group on Ravelry: each month, they choose two patterns or the option to knit a plain vanilla sock. The only rule is that the yarn must be from stash; no running out and buying more. I chose the plain vanilla option, using the Yarn Harlot's sock recipe. The yarn is Autumn House Specks that I bought on our visit to the farm last year.
Again, I don't know how far I'll get with a newborn in the house, but I figure at even my most sleep-deprived, I can manage plain vanilla socks. I hope.

Stockinette in the round is the perfect knitting when you're sleep deprived, in my experience.
i had a guy do that to me once (grumble and try to make me feel bad about being allowed to bring knitting on the plane). i felt awful but not because of guilt--because he'd sullied the experience of making something beautiful for someone. i don't have a lot of patience for passive aggression (or any other type of aggression, but the passive kind has a special place in my meanheart), so i kept on. let him grumble.
the socks are gorgeous.
bet you had move fun at Disney than me...I nearly froze my tuchas off. Am winging back to Pgh in a few hours and I'll let you know how my knitting goes. I've never had a problem with fellow passengers beyond a question. When I remind them that their pens also have pointy ends they usually ignore me. You'd much rather have me knitting than fidgeting on a long flight.
see you soon...
