SP contest again
I got a couple of questions from my SP hostess the other day:
Bonus answer: For knitting purposes I'd go someplace with an interesting knitting tradition (and sheep). Luckily, I live in such a part of the world, so I'd go to Norway or some north Atlantic island like the Faroe or Shetland islands. Or Iceland! Last week I was told I'm going there on a two-day conference in August, so I'll have almost one day to go wool-shopping before I improve my knowledge in quality vs. quantity in higher education. It can't count as "holiday", but I'll pretend.
With the weather turning warmer, many of you are thinking of traveling (though some of you have just returned, you can play along). 1) What do you pack to knit? and 2) What do you hope to shop for?
Assume that you will be gone for ten days to someplace "foreign" that is known for having great knitting locations. (Bonus: Where would you go on a "knitting holiday"?)
1) I'd either pack my current project (Salina), since I really want to finish it. On the other hand, if I go someplace warm I'd pack something less wooly and sweaty, like maybe the cotton skirt I'm crocheting or a sock project.
2) Stuff I wouldn't find at home, like something discretely hand painted (not variegated or self-striping, obviously) or other things that hasn't reached Sweden yet. Or something local, like a chunky handspun from a named sheep.

Thanks for playing
