Kits are good projects when travelling

And this is why- I'm down visiting my family which means living out of bags.  It also means that it is much trickier to do some crafts as bringing all the tools, glues etc, isn't ideal even if you are not limited by space (apart from what can fit in the car of course!).
So choosing what to bring requires careful consideration.  Knitting can be good- throw the project, pattern and maybe a spare ball of wool (or two- depends on your speed and length of the trip!) and you are good to go.  But whatever you do, don't take the cable blanket that you are working on with you and leave that little cable needle on your coffee table at home... ask me how I know... *sigh*

Since I was without a certain knitting project to work on (well at least until I can get to the shops), I dug out one of the kits that I had thrown into my 'things to do' bag that had been in the cupboard for a while.  A day later and I have a new pretty shiny bracelet (bought from the Bead Shack yonks ago).  Being a kit, it had all the things needed- the only thing I needed was a pair of scissors and I always have a pair in my knitting project bag.  It would even be useful if you are flying (well provided you threw it into your checked bag).

I have one other beading kit in the bag I might get to (it's a necklace so it will take a little longer).  Or I will have to dig through my bag for what else is in there after I get back from the shops.  Seems I need to get myself a cable needle, you see...
