I’m still haunted by that one time I went away and didn’t take enough yarn with me. The sinking feeling as I watched the skein get smaller and smaller, and the end creep closer with every stitch, until…
So this time I’m taking absolutely no chances.
Do you think I’ll have enough??

Good plan. I went without knitting to New York – thinking I wouldn’t have time – then was stuck on the tarmac for 4 hours. Be prepared!

Last time I visited, my train was delayed almost an hour so I’m preparing for that. Hopefully I won’t have to wait 4 hours!

Better safe than sorry. I’ve had to make a vacation run to Michael’s to pick up knitting supplies because I’ve finished my project and it is too late to go to a real knitting store.

I’m about to go on vacation and I’m asking myself that same question! Hopefully I bring enough yarn. On a side note, whenever my mom comes to visit me, I know I always have to take her to the craft store at some point because she will inevitably run out of yarn on her way 😂

I reckon it’s better to have too much than not enough. Clean clothes are optional anyway 😉

I agree that that is very important! I came away with no yarn and it’s killing me!

all dépends how long you’re going to be away for lol.
I always take loads of crafting supplies with me when we go away and invariably never have any time to craft lol.

Only a few days, but these are mainly for the travel there and back. Imagine being stuck on a train for hours with no crochet!!

I think it depends on what sort of away I am going to to. When i went to America last year I took balls of yarn with me, knowing I’ll be going to Micheals and hobby lobby to buy yarn from there. When i went to Sidmouth I took my current project to try and get it finish for my daughter’s birthday again I seemed out yarn shops, I didn’t need any yarn as I had enough to do with the project, plus I didnt have time in the day to knit the cardigan. I did buy from two shops while I was on holiday to bring back home. I also went to Brugge this year and didn’t take any yarn with me knowing I won’t have time to crochet or knit, but i did buy some yarn while I was there. Everywhere I go I check to see if there any yarn shops local or hobby stores that sell them, but most my holiday consist of not having time to knit or crochet.

I don’t have any plans to buy more yarn this time, but I’m not totally ruling it out! This is mainly for the travelling when I’ll be on my own and stuck in one place for several hours. Perfect crochet time!

Oh, yes, always take more than you need! We just went on vacation for six days and I packed six WIPs! Of course then I only knit on two of them…

As my Dad frequently says, it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have! I’ve actually stuck another ball in there today just in case!
