Travel Projects
Have you ever been on an extremely long, driving all day, strapped to a seat, nothing to do roadtrip? During this trip, did you ever think, "Man, I wish that I had something to do besides just sit here and drool with boredom."? Well, these posts will be a boredom-breaker for you. If you don't ever go on extensively LONG trips, then this post will be good even for the short drives to the Walgreens (or Raley's or Mcdonalds or whatever.)
Travel Projects #1: Knitting 
I know that I'm a boy and that knitting is for crippled old grannies, but knitting is actually very interesting. Some people (males in particular) never even try to knit in their entire lives! Can you imagine that? My brothers, for an example, criticize and tease me every time I try to knit (advise: for those of you male homeschoolers like me out there whose family include brothers who are at home all day with you and would do this do not atempt knitting until your male sibs are far, far away! Believe me, news spreads fast; if they tell your dad, prepare to be tortured for the rest of your life. Take it from the experienced, do not knit in this situation!). Anyway, here are a few sweet knitting sites:
KnittingHelp.com has free videos to teach you to knit
Kidsknits.com free finger puppet pattern
You can also make a sweater for your favorite stuffed animal or doll using this free pattern
The reason that I put knitting as a "travel project" is that you can take it absolutely anywhere: in the car, on your bed, in the rain, with friends, in the bathroom  , anywhere!
Oh, here's a note: if you can't find any books or websites that help you learn how to knit, ask someone in your family if they know how to. If they don't ask your friends, church family, and others. Learn to knit somehow!
Your Bro in Christ,
