Road Trip!

So, I'm going to Rochester from April 27 to May 5. I am so looking forward to going back home. I'll get to hit up all my old favorite spots: Tahous, Simply Crepes, Spot. We may even get a chance to go to Vertex (!) and we'll probably hit up a diner or two. It seems like every time we go back to Rochester, it's a food tour. Lol. I'm also *really* looking forward to taking Abby to the Strong Museum of Play and the Zoo.

Perhaps what I'm looking forward to the most is my knitting project. Come on, every knitting looks forward to long car rides! The longer the better! Uninterputed knitting time!!! I'm just not sure what to cast on for. I want something simple, but not mind numblingly boring. I don't want to have to do a lot of math on the road. I'd like to finish it in a week, not including blocking. And, I'd like to keep it to what I have in my stash...but that's not written in stone ;-)

I'd like something portable, though there's a part of me that kinda wants to start an afghan and have it grow over my lap as we drive. I was thinking Knucks, but since I have to make all the fingers seperatly, it doesn't seem like a very good car project. I might make a pair of socks, I can do that in about a week, right? The gloves I'm working on for Abby and me I'll probably have done before we leave, and I don't think I want to make another pair. Though, if I did, I'd make the Body Count mittens. I was comtemplating toteing some scrap yarn and making a pannel for an afghan, but I'd like to have an entire project done, not a part. Sweaters would be out of the questions. Maybe Java Jackets? Those are fun and cute. And, I'd like to make a bunch. Also considering making some eggs. Those are fun and simple and nice for Abby. I kinda want to be selfish and make something for myself ^-^ Maybe simple lace might be fun. Then I'd deffinatly have to make a trip to my LYS. Oh noes. Another idea would be those spiffy fiber trends felted clogs....

I need to decide soon!!! And, I need to purge needles. Amazingly, I don't have *that* much on the needles right now.

Oh, did I menchon I'll be there for my birthday? Yea! Now, if all of my friends hadn't moved away...
