Well, my bags are packed, my book selected, my projects in my travel bag and soon it will be time to leave for the airport. And just in the nick of time, because Chicago has officially started displaying chilly fall weather.
Our next stop is San Antonio, on the way to Marble Falls, TX, to spend a long weekend with my brother and his family. It will be the first time that we meet his sweet little boy -- my only nephew -- and I think that we are all looking forward to that. I can't wait to see what Z thinks about him. Even if it rains (which is, unfortunately, what the weather forecast is predicting) it will be warmer weather by a lake.
What am I taking along? Well, I decided against anything major (Dragon is staying home, as is Z's second Zebra sleeve) and am packing the yarn for Otto, the JaWoll sock I am currently working on, and the pair of Francie socks that I started some time back (even cast on and knitted the cuff for the second sock) in the hopes that I'll be motivated to just wrap some things up so I can focus on the last toy and the Zebra Striper sweater when I get back.
Wherever your weekend takes you, may it be a good one! Happy Trails!

Travel safely and have a great time (which I'm sure you will!)
Have a nice trip!
I've been admiring Francie for some time. I will definitely knit a pair some day.
