Yesterday, while I was out knitting with my friends, I found myself in a dire predicament. I ran out of knitting.
It started innocently enough. I ripped out my 10 stitch blanket...my second start at the 10 stitch blanket. This is not a difficult project. I had slipped the stitches purlwise instead of knitwise and it changed the whole look of the blanket. It had to go.
I ripped out my End Paper mitts. They have been hibernating for a year or two and I just wasn't feeling the love for them. They were the next project to be ripped out.
I was left with my Dorothy Gale socks. I knit on the first sock until I realised that I had left the pattern at home.
I was out of knitting. There was nothing I could do except go home. (we will totally ignore the fact that I was knitting in a yarn store and that I could have started a new project...which I just realised now)
This leads me to the subject of this post. I am packing to go on a two day retreat. I will be away from the city and any yarn shops, without my car, and I will have to knit only only the projects I have managed to stuff in my Rubbermaid tote.
Keeping mind that this is only a two day retreat, I have packed
- Ladybug Socks (they might get ripped out and turned into Nutkins)
- Dorothy Gale Socks (pattern is packed)
- Fern Leaf Shawl
- Mystic Light Shawl
- 10 stitch blanket (started for the third time...I think I've finally gotten the hang of it
- Lady Eleanor
- Raining Cats and Dogs Socks
- the hat that used to be End Paper Mitts
I was also going to pack Mystic Roses and the Crown Prince Shawl but then I remembered that I was only going to be gone for two days and that I had to leave room for the wine, chocolate and chips.

You "might" have enough, but I've run out of yarn knitting in an emergency room once. I had to break down and read. I know, the horror.
