One of the things I wanted to do on our vacation was to take my daughter and the twins out for pedicures.
I do not remember the colors of polish. (My daughter does NOT have Fred Flintstone feet. She just didn’t want to put her foot down on the dirty pavement.)
No knitting today. I’m just amazed at how flat it is traveling through Kansas. We can see for miles and miles. So unlike the twisty, mountainous roads in Almost Heaven West Virginia. 
My progress on the shawl I began knitting while stuck in traffic due to an accident:
I’m adapting the Kindness Shawl pattern to make for an easier travel knit. All garter stitch with the eyelets in the main body. Not sure if I’ll go to a lacy pattern at the edge.
My fellow blogger, Salpal1, made some curtains and I commented on the travel theme. Mr. Aitch and I just got a new GPS and I thought a travel-themed fabric would be great to sew up a case for it. So Salpal sent me some of her leftover fabric.
I loved the names of the states but wait…
…no West Virginia!
That just can’t be.
So using fabric markers and some rubber stamps, I altered the one side (sorry Oklahoma) to get at least one West (by God) Virginia on the cover.
I measured the size of the GPS and added an inch to each side so it would be easier to get in and out, added a zipper, lining, doubled the fusible batting for protection and called it done.
The back…
The inside…
Then I decided to make another cover/case for the window attachment and cord and have it large enough so everything would fit inside for when we want to remove it all from the car and keep everything all together. I adapted the size of this pattern and made it a bit smaller. I didn’t have enough of the Route 66 Fabric so I pieced together some complementary fabric to make it large enough.
Side A.
Side B.
Um, one side.
Inside with just the attachments.
All included.
Ready to go.
Thank you, Salpal, for the fabric scraps. I love it and had fun making it.
