What is your favorite project for "on the go". I always wish I had taken a knitting project along when I get a few moments while out and about. I don't knit socks and I like projects that are easy to knit without a pattern in front of me. I do want it to have enough challenge that I actually FINISH it someday though!
Do you use a project bag or just carry it in a purse? I want to get better at using every spare minute of time to KNIT or CROCHET (I do both!)

"Knitting in Public" is very acceptable and I have met so many fellow knitters this way. I knit everywhere! Including (I'm kind of embarrased to say) when I am at a stop light. I know that's a bit extreme, but some of those lights can be really long!!
Knitting in public is something I love to do. It is relaxing to sit outside at a little cafe with a nice glass of wine and just knit. I never knew how relaxing it was to knit. I used to be in awe of my aunt , who could knit and talk at the same time! Something about the click...click..click of the wooden needles is so relaxing after a busy day.I have passed htis on to my daughter...who tells me that she loves to crawl in bed at night and knit while watching a movie......
Hi, I just joined and look forward to sharing and really getting into knitting again. I just finished knitting winter tobogins for my kids. I use a circle loom - very similar to circle needles- . I take mine everywhere. I have a tote bag and I just keep it near the front door next to my chair in the livingroom and I grab and go. With the circle loom I don't have to count as much. . .Evelyn
My daughter loves to loom knit! She has made some incredible things. I'll have to keep that in mind too because they are so much fun.
Is using a circle loom monotonous? Was just wondering.
I have been doing alot of just basic knit stitch with stuff mostly scarfs and towels (dish and cloths) I keep in my purse ....though my purse could be used as a project bag in and of it self :D
Granny Squares! So simple and you can crochet them up really fast. I use my purse as my project bag, it's a med/lg size and has a divider in the center. One side is used for "pocketbook" stuff and the other holds my yarn and hook. I keep a pair of embroidery scissors tucked away in the inside pocket for quick clips. It's easy to carry around 4 or 5 smaller balls of leftover yarn that i use to make my squares. Very convenient for waits in the doctor's/dentist's office, kid's ballgames/practices and I always have my hobby handy when my hubby is behind the wheel!
Crochet doll clothes. I crochet doll clothes for 8" and 5" dolls. They are small projects, easy to take along, and very rewarding.
I love crochet for dolls! My grandmother always made those "pillow dolls" so I have a soft spot for crochet and dolls. I still have one somewhere that she made...just gorgeous!
I just was emailed by Karen Skacel that she's shipping us a good supply of Addi Click sets. They've improved the packaging to make the interchangeable addi turbos more portable and suited for travel. Good news for your travelling knitting projects!
That is awesome!!! I can't wait to see what they look like!
Socks on two circular needles!! just learned how to do them and i love it. so much easier that the dpns
