Does This Sound Funny To You?

I want to take a flight to a city I'd otherwise never visit, spend a few hours in the airport there (or somewhere within walking distance), then fly back the same night.  The mini-est of adventures.

Sound weird?

Anyone know which cities have cool-to-spend-time-in airports?

If I ever get my knitting salon open, I want there to be baskets of odds-and-ends yarns containing projects that visitors can come in and work on.  A scarf that folks could add to until it got long enough to donate to a charity, or auction off for a charity.  Sleeping pads for shelter animals.  Log cabin patterened blankets.

Since I don't have the salon yet, do you think that could be done through the mail?  Start, say, a Traveling Scarf, that's sent along a volunteer route until completion.  Except that people who would get the project late in the route would have to pay more postage than people at the beginning.  I could ask for people to knit blocks, or strips, or triangles to send to me, and I would put things together and deliver it wherever we want.

Could that work?

Is this one of the most ingenious things you've ever seen?  A felted tea cosy.  Remarkable.
