This summer is all about portability. I need a project that can transition seamlessly from the car to the stadium. With the World Cup games happening, I want to be fully immersed in the energy, the crowd, and the match—not squinting at a row-by-row guide on my phone while trying to cheer.
A simple sock allows me to knit by feel. I can stitch away during a tense buildup, pause instantly when a goal is scored, and never have to worry about where I left off. It’s the ultimate "autopilot" craft.
So, here’s to a summer of simple pleasures, beautiful self-striping yarn, and making progress one mindless round at a time.
