train to brazil I've knit socks on the German train and now on Amtrak.
The woman sitting across from me was also knitting and so were two very classy and sophisticated women in my subway car later. Wow, knitting sure is hip in New York City! Well, I'm off to shop and knit in the big apple. If you see someone knitting Brazil socks in the local yarn stores today, that'll be me! posted by alison at 9:43 am | in

Those are kinda Amtrak-y colors too. I have seen many women (including myself--duh) knitting on Amtrak, and have thought about taking pictures for a post. But, I figured that would be a sure-fire way to get myself tossed from the train... Have fun. It's going to be a fabby weekend.
