Yarn on a Plane

Lacking a Kindle, I occupied my traveling time today with a skein of yarn and two plastic TSA-approved knitting needles.  Sitting in the Cleveland airport, I glanced up to see two 9 year old boys curiously watching me as I wrapped the yarn around my needles and knit and purled to connect the cuff back to the gusset on my slipper. 
"Ah", I explained to them, "It's like an old-fashioned video game."

I used to spend hours sitting on the couch knitting when I was a child.  Weird.
