Do you do this? Bring projects along with you even when you know you will have no opportunity to do any knitting at all? Not even a stitch? I am the master of this. I bring along notebooks and graph paper, a project or two, and lately a camera. I have been known to lug around several bags full of "might needs". Heavy bags. You'd think I was on a styling job to see me. Juggling take-out tea, cursing while the bags slip from my shoulder. But leave them at home? Never. They are a little security in a hectic world...One glance at that future tam, or cheerful striped sock and I feel...safe...! Is that crazy? It really does make me feel safe.

HA! Someone else like myself! I brought my daughter to Boyton McKay today for lunch and along came my large leather tote full of knitting projects which sat behind my stool on the ground. I did not knit a single stitch but I did trip on the bag while refilling my water.
Yes! I almost always have a little sock or something going in my purse, even if there's no chance that I'm going to be knitting where I'm going. I hardly ever need my insurance card either, but it's always in my wallet, you know, just in case.
I did it today. I lugged Nerissa with me even though I knew I'd either eat and walk or eat and read at lunch today. There will be no knitting over dinner with a friend tonight, so why did I bother? Just in case the opportunity arose, I suppose.
I sure do do this - I have little projects stashed in bags and drawers in all sorts of unlikely places.
Yes, I do the same thing. But sometimes I'm really glad I did! Like the time I went to have dinner with a friend - about a half hour drive from me. When did I think I was going to knit? But on the way home, there was a MAJOR traffic jam. I was stuck on the on ramp to the highway for about half an hour. No movement at all. No worries - I just put it in 'park', switched on the interior light and knit away. Had I not had my knitting with me I am pretty sure I would have been going out of my mind. So, yes, safe is the right term.
yeah, I do that!
That tam is so pretty it makes me feel warm and safe. Or at least happy. It's gorgeous!
Hey You Guys! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I won't stop anytime soon I know.I figure at the very least it is good exercise, however odd I may appear to any observer!
I have to add, anon. I step on my bag too, sometimes more than I take anything out of it!
YES YES YES. I feel like a turtle because usually i have a backpack with everything i MIGHT just have time for... knitting... a book... journal... camera... Etc. Good thing I don't sew, because the sewing machine would really break my back! ;)
And what is that beautiful fair isle thing you're making? I love love love the colors!
