It sounds boring but it's not

I love coming back to Boston... it makes every cell in my body fizz with happiness and relief. When I walked in the door of my condo, Rafe ran out onto the stairs, and then the other cats ran out onto the stairs, and so heisenbug and I went out with them and snuggled on the stairs while all three of them ran madly up and down. I may write more about the trip later, but all of it feels unimportant next to being home again.

Here's what I did on my cross-country plane flights:

I said I would only post finished objects here, but the back of a sweater is kind of a finished object, right?

I love your sweater! It's going to look great when finished. It's been years since I've done any knitting, but you may just have inspired me to take it up again.
How'd you manage to keep your needles on the planes? I know so many people who have had knitting needles and crochet hooks taken off them.
I recently saw a lady knitting in an open motorbike side-car as she was travelling down the freeway!

I have a set of Knitpicks Options needles, and I take the needle tips off and put them with my pens and pencils when I go through security. I've heard that knitting needles are now on the explicitly approved list of items for flying, so maybe a printout of the rules would be sufficient, but this has worked for me.

Thanks, on the sweater! If you do start knitting again, look around for the many great tutorials, blogs and free patterns that are online now. I'm not sure quite when knitters took over such a big corner of the internet.
