Railaxed Knitting in July

Knitting on the road: What is a better way to relax on the road? For me, it's knitting of course. You listen to the book and knit, knit,  ... This summer, I travelled a lot by train, so I had a lot of time on my hands. I also had yarn in my hands! 
The railway magazine fully supported my ideas of relaxation on the railroad :-) Budapest-Prague: Two hours of knitting from Budapest to Vienna and then to Prague. Halfway through the trip, this small shawl - baktus - was finished. Prague-Moscow: ... and started a new shawl at the airport and continued on the plane and then on the train to Vologda. Vologda: This baktus was finished in Russia, and I even had a chance to wear it in July (!) - the temperature dropped from 25 to 10. Moscow-Toronto: Again, I bought new yarn (in Russia) to keep myself busy on the way back. This shawl is still work in progress. Yarn: Liza (Moscow) 100g 303 m wool 15%, mohair 35%, acrylic 50%. All the three shawls are of the same  design: same size and pattern - stockinette stitch.

Do I feel relaxed now?
Yes!!
Even though
OR
because
I did a lot of knitting :-)
