cosmicpluto knits!

amelia is super cute! i love that ribbing that goes around the waist i’m so jealous of your round-the-world trip! i’ve always wanted to do that. good for you!

This was my favorite pattern from Knitty Winter!!

What an awesome pattern!
Have a fabulous trip. I’m going on a 3.5mo trip and am having SUCH a hard time picking out enough knitting for it! When in doubt, pack more yarn! That’s my motto!

I just got back from Tokyo StitchnB..they have a daytime and nighttime group…..I was able to make it to the day group and what a welcoming crew!Lots of Bilinguals and fun and friendship. They have a yahoo group…Tell’m Lisa sent ya!..any other questions abt tokyo ( i spent a week) just ask….
Lisa , just outside new Orleans

This is a great sweater. It’s jumped up my queue to be next.

This is such a lovely pattern! How do you think it would do in a variegated yarn? :0)

Socks and lace! Socks for the adventurous bits where you want to catch everything that’s going on; lace for the down times, when you’re stuck waiting in a train station for hours.

Hiya, I’m a Singaporean student studying in London. Singapore is a predominantly English-speaking society, so I trust that you will not encounter problems when getting around

Feel free to fire any questions about pocket-friendly accommodation at our Singaporean group:

Cheers!

Nadia stole my answer! Socks and lace don’t get big and ungainly, so they’re easy to travel with.

I have some LL in exactly that color that has been looking for a project! I think I will have to start my own Amelia soon.

Lots of nice sock/lace yarn to be had in China!
Book ahead in China if you can – it is going to be Chinese New Year time. It may be very difficult to book trains/planes …
You may want to look into Motel 168 or 268, or the Home Inn chain. I have not tried Home Inn, but both are supposed to be basic business hotels at low prices. Motel 268 is more deluxe and costs 268 RMB (about $50 CAD/night)… it had a nice shower, TV with BBC, and free internet, but also a lot of orange plastic.

Your design is really pretty. I love this sweater. Wow! Your trips sound amazing!

May I recommend The Netherlands. I loved Rome and Scotland, but I really took a liking to Amsterdam. It’s very scenic. The people are polite but not pushy, and there are just soo many cute little places to wander into. I was only there a week, and I wish I could move there tomorrow:) Have a great trip!

I love that pattern.

That sweater is adorable. Just enough detail to keep it interesting, yet still simple and classic. Your trip sounds amazing–I wouldn’t know how to plan for something that big!

For the knitting, I recommend a few pairs of socks and a small shawl. That got me through long plane and train rides and were portable enough to always have close by.

Wow, I absolutely LOVE the color!! And the pattern too! One more of your patterns that joins my queue The first top-down I ever knitted was yours, and I plan to knit the V-neck sweater, the Lucy Cardigan and the B-side as well! I just love your works and your pictures

BTW I’m also jealous of your trip around the world… I’ve never travelled for longer than 2 weeks and 6 weeks seems a lot to me!! May I suggest a destination in Europe? Barcelona The people over at the Barcelona Stitch’n'Bitch (including myself) would be glad to have you here!

This is a great pattern!

I’m definitely a bit jealous of your great trip. The furthest I’ve been outside the U.S. was a trip to Toronto a couple of years ago before I needed a passport to travel to Canada.
