We left Richmond around 7:30 yesterday morning and had a pretty easy drive to Fishkill, NY. It was a beautiful day and I got a lot of crochet done. Crochet is such a perfect travel craft. Everything I need fits in an eyeglasses case.

I got 1 hat made and then switched to the blanket.

I added 3 sections and, if my measurements are right, I have 4 left to go. This will be done in no time.

During one of my breaks I did some research and found a possible organization near us in Maine where I might be able to donate the hats and this blanket. I think it would be cool to be able to leave them for the local community. It would also clear up a little space in the car for anything that I might purchase.

One more day of driving today and we’ll be in out little paradise.

Good idea, we always need new stuff (and the space to hold it).

Yes, leaving stuff behind makes room for purchases. I always try to take a few things I can giveaway or trash after I use them on the trip. (Example: t-shirt that I still wear but really should discard.)

I agree crochet is perfect for traveling instead of getting bored if you are traversing the same route each time!!
