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.

It’s a long drive but at least you can keep yourself amused. I noticed the plastic stitch markers and was reminded of how much I hate those – they break at an alarming rate. I finally located metal ones and they’re SO much better. Can’t remember where I got them though, but you might want to look into it. (Knit Picks, perhaps?)
