knit

I found a "how to knit" kit at Target on sale (my two favorite things to say together!) and the thing that makes this different than all the other "knit kits" out there is that it has an instructional DVD and needles (granted, I'm sure they are a crap fest, but I don't know any better.. I'll be sure to be snobby about it further on down the road.). The yarn is ugly and I don't even want to make the pillow they describe, but it does list a bunch of different patterns to learn, so its ok.

Perfect thing to take on my trip. I even checked online to see if they wouldn't take away my plastic needles at the airport security.
Frankly, my taste in clothes is probably more of a security issue than those plastic-y things.

(and frankly, the first thing that I thought of about knitting was "what bag should I cary my knitting around in?")
