I’m due for another business trip and that means over 24 hours of travel (15 hours of flying on one airline, a layover and 4 hours on another). With all this time on the plane, what am I going to do with myself? It looks like I am going to have ample time to get cozy, watch a couple of movies and begin my knitting marathon. Lucky for me, there is no shortage of yarn in my closet from all my trips to Michaels!

Most of the patterns that I’ve knitted in the past couple of months have been over ten lines long with lots of counting and tallying. The patterns themselves aren’t challenging, but there’s as lot to keep track of and count. This time around, I decided to go with the “Eyelet Ribbed” pattern, which is only six lines and more manageable for traveling. If you can knit, purl, yarn over and purl two together, then it’s relatively easy. I like this pattern because it’s simple, doesn’t have too much counting and you end up with these beautiful column ridges at every other stitch along with these cute little peepholes. I also think this pattern goes well this spring colored yarn.

Well, off to my next flight!
