Today I am traveling, and so cannot create a fiber arts object for this post. Instead, I will review the Rules of Car Knitting, for your consideration:
- Do not distract the Driver.
- Use a circular needle. You know, the one with the flexible cable connecting the two points. This is pretty much all I use anyway, unless I am knitting socks or some other narrow circular shape. In the car, you may drop a few stitches, but you won’t drop one of your needles between the two seats, into some remote, inaccessible location. Avoid using a cable needle and double points for the same reason. You may use stitch markers at your own risk.
- Choose mindless knitting. In other words, something you can knit out of your head, that doesn’t require you to read a chart or paper pattern. Following a pattern will give you a headache, and could also distract the driver.
- To avoid car sickness, wait until you are on the interstate before starting.
- After dark, check with the driver before you turn on a cab light to see your knitting. I know certain people who profess to knitting in the dark. (My daughter claims that she can knit in a darkened movie theater.) You are not one of these people, and your knitting will have mistakes.
That’s about it. I wish you happy travels and uniform stitches.
