I’m leaving for Iceland<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0in a few hours, and I’m VERY VERY EXCITED. Here are some shots I took of my packing yesterday. I spread everything out on my bed, so I could get a good sense of what was missing, what I still needed, and holy moly I think I’m overpacking! (I have since decided my fleece and snow pants were overkill and opened up half a suitcase.) The stuff on the left is boring stuff like pants and shirts and LOTS of wool tights. I spared you photos of my underwear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the more exciting stuff. Knits! On the top row there are patterned socks that I use as samples for my class. On the bottom row are boring stockinette socks that I’m going to wear to keep warm. And there’s a hat that Anne<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0knit me. And mittens that Kristi knit me that I wore on my last trip to Iceland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at those sock samples. We have, from left to right: Marilinda<\/a>, BFF<\/a>, Clandestine<\/a>, Monkey<\/a> size L, Lindsay<\/a>, Rambutan<\/a>, Gothic Spire<\/a>, Monkey size S, Devon<\/a>, Makoto<\/a>, and Daphne<\/a>. Which one is your favorite?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I wasn’t going to just throw all those precious handknits into my suitcase. They are lovingly placed in these Cookie A Sock Club bags which are perfect for travel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I managed to whittle down my knitting to only 3 project bags. I almost added another but decided that I’m pretty sure I’m going to pick up some yarn in Iceland. I think they have a lot of it there. What’s inside each bag? I can’t tell you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And… what else is exciting? I packed my swim suit because we will definitely go into some geothermal pools. I must try knitting in one! And, I may not have shaved my legs (sorry if that was TMI), but I did manage to get a pedicure so I can show off my feet when I’m not wearing socks.<\/p>\n
