…you finish a project. A One Row Scarf, Crystal Palace Yarns Iceland. Size 10.5US needles. Note the nifty braided look of the selvages.
…you buy some yarn. Pat Catan’s was having a clearance sale on discontinued Lion Brand yarns.
…you get asked by a friend’s 10 year old son to teach him how to knit. He picks up on knit and purl stitches in five minutes flat and spends the rest of the *2 hours* you are hanging out with his parents at a coffee shop knitting on your piece of travelling knitting. He ignores his milkshake to knit. He’s getting a knitting kit – size nine bamboo needles, three skeins of wool-ease (it was a really great sale), a yarn needle, scissors and needle point guards. In a guy friendly tool box.

Will the Lion Brand become fish?
(I like your new picture on Ravelry!)
Wow. Awesome. Saturday is learn to knit day here. My son is SOOOO excited. I am working on generating the same level of enthusiasm. I love the tool box idea.
The Lion Brand I think I’m going to use for gifts — dasHusbands family are *not* handwash people, so the wool-ease will be perfect for things for them. I want to keep the fish blanket in 100% wool. I need to take some time here and memorize the pattern – the fish would be perfect travelling knitting.
The tool-box is great — everything fits in it perfectly. I had so much fun putting this little kit together — cruising the dollar store for notions (that’s where I found the toolbox), and then Pat Catans for the yarn and needles. I enjoy these small acts of knitting evangelism.
Agree with the kudos as to the toolbox — inspired! And the scarf looks great, gives me some ideas about stash yarn I could use with that pattern.
