Travelling Companions (Revised)

I'm off on my tour of Eastern Europe tomorrow.  The ferry which is booked to take us off the island has changed our sailing time. There is a storm due, with some wild winds and high seas, so they plan to take us early! Oh good.
*
Edited to say that our sailing time was changed again, now we leave after the storm and can have the morning at home. Oh yes, and I changed my mind, I'm taking a completely new project with me.
*

I've been planning what to take along with me. I have a little bag all prepped with a small cross stitch project, but I'm not sure how that will work out, I never tried stitching on a bus before.
So I also have another larger bag all prepped with a crochet project. You know me, I can't crochet on a small scale! LOL
This lovely is coming along. You can't beat the good old Granny. I know I can do this on a bus, I took another giant along last year and did actually do some to it.
I'm not following any particular pattern here, but I did take some inspiration from this blanket. I like the fact that there is no foundation chain. :-)
I joined the squares together as I made them, then made rows along one side. Simple. The blanket in the (Third) link was made in the same way, with rows of smaller squares.
*
I did ask himself if we would be taking the laptop along with us, but didn't get a response, if we take it, I'll keep you updated, if we don't... I guess I won't.  LOL

Right now, we seem to be in the calm before the storm, so I'm off to do some washing and get it on the line. Then I had better sort out what clothes I'm taking!

I've just got home from a trip to Wyoming and Idaho and knitted all the way, not one cross stitch! Glad you had a good time, am commenting backwards, lol!
