Alone in a hotel room with a plastic fork...

Last weekend, I was stranded in a hotel room with

• a knitting machine
• a skein of KnitPicks Memories yarn in the Redwood Forest colourway
• a set of plastic containers with lids
• some hand soap
• a source of hot and cold water
• a plastic fork

I did what any sensible fluffy geek would do in these circumstances: tried out the knitting machine by knitting a swatch and felting it. With a plastic fork. I'd like to point out that it's a very sturdy plastic camping fork with many excellent qualities. I had washed it thoroughly after using it to eat my dinner. The yarn felts beautifully. I just wish I could be more enthused about the colour range.
