knitting in a kayak...

i wonder if that can be done. there's plenty of room and the only problem is keeping the project dry and of course paddling would be problematic and then there's the lace and the counting and the book how would that be kept dry and ok so it's a bad idea all the way around. and speaking of around i'm using my circular inox needles to knit this lace panel. don't try knitting lace on bamboo it's not not not possible. plastic isn't much better. so now i've made another decision...to buy the knit picks coated metal interchangeable circular needle set, or maybe to have someone buy it for me for my birthday or christmass. and another decision to buy a kayak...an orange ot sport kruzer to be precise. 11 feet sliding seat capability to add a child jump seat and 20 % off can't pass it up. the child jump seat is in the works..i have a bid on one on ebay as we speak! talk about the cart before the horse!!! but since i'm saving so much on the boat and on the jump seat i think i'll splurge and buy the paddles at dicks in robinson and get some cool color to match my new boat! i'm envisioning putting the four year old in the jump seat for a wild adventure on flat water! later love g

I love the lace!
And I wouldn't try the kayak/knitting thing....there's just too much that can go wrong. If you don't pay attention, you could end up in the water with your knitting floating away.
We go sea kayaking, and I always bring my knitting (in a zip-lock bag) so I can knit a few rows in a scenic spot when we pull out of the water.
Have fun paddling!
