Didn't I See You Down in San Antone on a Hot and Dusty Night?

Tomorrow we leave chilly Brooklyn for Texas:



Last night, worrying over the lists in my head that I always run when we're about to travel, I picked up some of my silk and tried out an invention, a little ripple purse:



I'm not sure what I think about it, but I do like the middle button. I crocheted a tube of three stitches, coiled it, and stitched it together. I'm going to try some more when I return from San Antonio.

Thank goodness, Jet Blue allows knitting needles and blunt-point sewing scissors! I can work on my scarf for the International Scarf Exchange. Of course, I'll be covered with matzoh crumbs and magic marker smudges from E...no, she's a good little traveler. The crumbs and smudges will only be of my own making...
