travel, etc. - knitting bag

I am going to Europe tomorrow for a week! I will be visiting Brussels and Amsterdam. Since I am travelling on the plane alone, I decided to bring some knitting. Here is how I pack up a project:

Step One: Pack up knitting bag. Mine is a free bag I got from Clinique. I like that it zips. Usually it holds all my knitting, but I am using particularly long needles for this project.

Step Two: Pack scissors and tapestry needle separately if you plan to carry on your bag. I put mine in my liquids baggie.

Step Three: Zip the bag up (as best you can) and pack it in your carry-on.

I am being very ambitious and taking my Union Jack tea cosy, which has a lot of intarsia. I really want to finish the project, and once I complete this second flag piece, I just need to make two plain red layers. See my Union Jack tea cosy progress here and here.

Wish me luck! I'll be back June 19th.
