If I Can't Bring my Yarn, I'm not Going
A few months ago I came across a photo of a shirt that read “If I can’t bring my yarn, I’m not going.” That is me! One of the best things about crochet is that you really can bring it anywhere! My husband, Mark, and I took our children to Disney World last summer. We decided to drive because it made more sense for us economically. When you are a party of five, plane ticket costs add up quickly. And as much as we can all drive each other bananas, we really do love just being together. So we drove. Of the two of us, Mark typically does the driving. That works well for me because I would rather crochet! We live in Maryland so it was quite a long drive for us. For most people, that wouldn’t sound very enjoyable or productive. If you are a crocheter though, you know what an amazing opportunity that time is to get work done. And the trip itself was truly magical. In addition to road trips, I also crochet on-the-go when my kids have sports practices, while sitting in waiting rooms, during family movie nights, when I’m lounging at the pool- basically anytime that I’m sitting, my hands are working. If your project is a reasonable size, you really can bring it almost anywhere!
