Knitting On-The-Go

I have to cast on something new! I have an excuse. A pretty decent one. I think...Today we took a three hour road trip in the early morning. It's my favorite kind of travel - grab a car, a dog, breakfast and go whenever it takes you. No plans, no GPS. We found a peaceful place in the hills and spent a blissful Sunday morning reading and walking. But. My hands were itching! During the week I have so little time to devote to my stitches, that weekends just have to be full of knitting/crochet! The problem is that I don't have a single WIP that could be done on-the-go. Right now I am working on my projects at the table full of notes, charts and who knows what else. Definitely unsuitable for a road trip. So, one more project then. Just one!I thought it would be perfect time to plan some gift knitting. This summer I won't be able to visit my family, so instead I want to send a parcel full of handmade items to my three most important women on Earth - my Mom and grandmothers.I am looking at these two patterns to start with.They are exactly what I am looking for. First of all, they are just gorgeous, aren't they?! They offer a perfect opportunity to play around with color. They are calling for the stash yarn, which is perfect for Andi's KAL/CAL. And they are simple enough to take on road trips.Well, now when I finished justifying my knitting polygamy, what should I cast on first? That's a tough choice.
