I’ve only been crocheting for a short time, but I’ve recently started making wearable pieces for myself and my family. This seamless beginner sweater was such a joy to work on. I even brought the project along on our winter vacation and spent sunny Florida afternoons crocheting outdoors. The tutorial I followed is linked here.
Happy crocheting!🧶
You may have seen pricey versions of crochet travel bags designed to hold your WIPs and supplies—but this one offers all the same features without the hefty price tag. I love that it fits neatly under the airplane seat in front of you, and the well-placed pockets keep everything within easy reach. It truly is an excellent crochet travel bag, and I absolutely adore it!
Amazon has a plethora of excellent craft backpack options. Here’s the link for the bag I purchased and reviewed above. The additional exterior charging port is incredibly convenient too!

When on vacation or traveling, I like to have a few portable crafts on hand. An unexpected flight delay, a rainy afternoon, or a relaxing day at the pool are all part of the trip. Having a handy craft at the ready can be quite enjoyable. I look for projects that are compact and simplistic, without lots of parts and pieces.
Visiting the local Dollar Tree, I found a few Amigurumi kits that I would bring on my Disney Vacation Club trip. I usually take a day or two to just relax and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the parks and shops. These kits are $1.25, but remember, you get what you pay for… The pattern is VERY difficult to decider and I ran out of yarn for one of the petite pets (dog) and had to improvise with yarn I had left over for another part of the project. You’ll notice I have used gray yarn on the left dog ear because I ran out of brown.
Before leaving for vacation, I enlarged the pattern in my copier so I have a legible pattern to follow. (The pattern that accompanies the kit is very small and difficult to follow.)
I also found a YouTube video for compact Easter Crochet Flower that hold Cadbury Eggs for a cute co-worker gift before the holiday. I used Peaches and Creme yarn from Walmart ($1.99 at Florida Walmart) to complete the flowers. These cakes are compact and easy to pack. I also travel with a mesh craft bag that fits in my carry on. Inside I have crochet hooks, stitch markers, TSA approved scissors, tapestry needles, etc.
