    I know the audio isn't great in this episode! It's the first time I've ever filmed on a flight and the engines were even noisier than I expected. Hope it's not too annoying!
    In this video I'm working on my Tolsta tank, the pattern isn't out just yet but will be soon.

    More than 22 hours in the air is quite an achievement for a nervous flyer, and carried off with aplomb - you should be proud of yourself! Not to mention completing a Tolsta enroute - well done. Have a wonderful time - I'm looking forward to the next video.

    Really impressed that you knit a whole Tolsta on your flights. If I knit a few rounds of a sock I think I'm doing well 😂 Enjoy your trip 😊

    I really enjoyed this, it was great to see how your project grew. It looks great. Thank you for talking about being a nervous flier and ways that you try to combat it. I’m terrified of flying so it helped.

    Knitter from Ōtautahi (Christchurch) NZ here. Amazing to get that much knitting done on that flight! Glad to hear you're enjoying your travels and that the flight hasn't put you off. Enjoy the rest of your trip and hope you and Sam do choose to visit again 😊

    Im so impressed you knit the whole flight! That camisole version looks amazing on you. I love that you are breaking out into bolder colors too it's been so helpful to see. I have the perfect yarn for a camisole version so I really can't wait until you release it!
    Also, I love that the airline has the flight path and a camera outside the plane. Id have that up the whole flight too!

    Good for you for keeping occupied on the flights! That's a lot of time in the air! I can be a nervous flyer too sometimes, even though I come from an aviation family and have flown for many years. Something that helps me with turbulence is knowing that it's very much like being on a boat in choppy water, so I remind myself that it's more uncomfortable than scary, like riding down a bumpy road. I think the hardest part is you can see bumps in the road or waves on the water, but not in the air. If I do start to worry, I ask myself if the pilots in my life would be worried, and if the answer is no, then I try not to worry too. I also try to channel my focus onto something else, like sodoku or a podcast. Sometimes I sit in my discomfort too -- just acknowledging it helps settle me down some. I hope this helps someone else who gets nervous flying too!

    Despite the background noise, I stuck with you for the whole thing……….because knitters love watching knitters knit! I just took my knitting with me on my flight, but it was only 2hrs and 15 minutes. Eager to watch the next update in the travel knitting! ClaudiaSJI

    I went to New Zealand last year from Edinburgh and was excited to do so much knitting on the flights. On the way out I did to a little bit, but it turns out flying makes me just as sleepy as being on a boat, so my Hong Kong - Auckland leg I pretty much slept the whole way. We came back Auckland-Doha-London and I got quite travel sick on the first flight (including being sick on the tarmac when we got off the plane in Doha!!) and slept the whole way to London. I was supposed to fly back up to Edinburgh a few hours later but my flight was cancelled and when I got to the hotel I realised I'd lost my knitting project on the flight to Doha!! Only a couple of inches on a sock but still! Never managed to track it down. So all in all a bit of a knitting flop!

    Thanks for letting us be a part of your trip, so fun! When I was on a 10.5h flight on my own I knit the entire time. Only put my knitting down for a bathroom brake. People where looking at me funny (I had an isle seat) 😂
    I thought it was amazing to get that much uninterrupted knitting time. If you plan on possibly having kids in the future I would highly recommend to get all your long distance travelling done before and then take a break until they are at least ten.... 😩😜

    I understand your anxiety flying. I hv flown to Australia. And my daughter was an air hostess. But i had a panic attack in the air. So i choose not to fly. I am not scared of flying which everyone expects. It’s the being shut in and hving to stay there.

    I’m knitting my first tolsta tee as I watch but thinkit will take me a bit longer to finish -it is 4ply,which is what I had in my stash! However, I have bought the same green Belle for my next one! I’ve also got some red Belle and I think I will see if I can make that work for a Sana when the pattern is released, I don’t think I will wear a wool short sleeved cardi, so want to find a cotton or a blend like Belle so I hope it will work. Enjoy the next bit of your hols! ❤
