I ran away from my Lucky wrap.

Last night I packed my bags, and I calmly folded up the half-seamed beast, the half-finished neckband, and all those ends--not to put into my suitcase but--to put in the closet where it will stay for a few weeks.  I like Lucky, but I am a bit frustrated with the seaming.  I should have left one stitch on the outside of my decreases, but I didn't, and the process is slow.  Not to mention I have had minimal free time in the last few weeks.

I didn't felt my oven mitt, either.  Looks like it might be a post-wedding gift after all.  I am liking the idea of bringing it home with me and just tossing it in my mom's washer.  It would probably never dry in the insane humidity anyways. 

Since my knitting was stressing me out this week, the only thing I could do was run almost as far away as possible and meet my brother in Hokkaido!  The weather is cool, and even though I've only been here for about 4 hours, I think I could get used to this. 

I've got socks and a boring (read stress-free) shawl to keep my busy while I'm not behind the wheel of a car.  I might even hit up a coffee shop tomorrow just to sit and knit.  What a novel idea!  I'll post pictures sometime...
