One thing I find to be so handy about knitting is the fact that you can always make room in your suitcase or backpack for a ball of yarn and knitting needles. My parents often drive me to the airport when I'm leaving for my next adventure and more than once my mom has crammed sock yarn into the last possible empty space in my luggage. She treats the supplies like vitamins, "You can't forget them!" Once there wasn't actually any space left so I just carried it in my hand to the gate and started knitting in the waiting area. Needless to say I've knitted quite a few things while living abroad.
I knitted this orange and blue vest while living in Madrid Spain in 2008.
This was taken in Plaza Mayor on a lazy Sunday afternoon with friends:

During the summer I traveled north from Madrid to Scandinavia by train. I bought the big orange buttons from a shop in Paris. They are a carved flower design and actually sparkle a little.
The finished project:
