There is something truly comforting about plain sock knitting. The simple stitches, the fact that I don't have to look while knitting it, the magic of turning the heel...
Quite soon we will be leaving on a summer road trip to visit family back East, so I have been tracing embroidery patterns from Aimee Ray's Doodle Stitching The Motif Collection
to small squares of fabric, which I intend to eventually frame in little ribbon-wrapped embroidery hoops over Daisy's bed. 
Using the window as my light-box.
I also have checked the 5th and 6th Harry Potter books out of the library, so this way I will be able to alternate between handwork and reading in the interest of avoiding sore hands or carsickness. What is your favorite sort of thing to take on a road trip?
