Plotting and Planning: Six Weeks Out

As I knew it would when the time got closer, my trip at the end of February is starting to feel real. We leave six weeks from Sunday, and I've been doing things both more and less practical:

• choosing outfits, which isn't done yet but I started
• ordering things like travel-size toiletries and a universal converter/plug (of course I went with what Kyria recommended: thanks, Kyria!)
• buying a new roller carry-on bag; my old one is pretty rickety, so I got a new one in a pattern that I don't love, but will stand out among the black ones that so many people have:

• And, finally, deciding on a travel knitting project

Yes, my current knitting project is near enough to the end that I need to bring something else! I started the edging today. Which, since none of my current projects feels like being at the right point, means I need to make plans!

Back in 2019, I made a not-a-shawl project, named Across the Waters, and as I really like wearing it, I've been thinking about making another one. I decided that now is the time, and stash-dove for some yarn.

So, that's something! I'll wind the yarn and start it off before the trip, but since I've made it before, it ought to be straightforward enough, knock on wood.
