Nothing is worse than sitting down on the plane and finding the cable needle is still at home. Tick each item as you pack it, work out how much knitting actually fits in your trip, and leave room for the yarn you'll bring home.

What's included

2 pages, as an A4 and a US letter PDF.

  1. Packing Checklist: seven lists to tick off.
    • Projects and yarn
    • Needles
    • Notions
    • Bag and comfort
    • Before you leave, including a reminder to check airline rules for needles and scissors
    • Souvenir yarn, with space for yarn shops to visit
    • My extras, with blank lines for your own items
  2. Trip Knitting Plan: add up your knitting hours for the journey and the evenings, choose the projects that fit that time, and keep a record of the yarn you brought home.

How it works

  1. Get the PDF free by email, or buy it on Etsy.
  2. Print at home on A4 or US letter paper. Print a fresh copy for every trip.
  3. Tick each item as it goes into your project bag.
