Hot Knitting

I'm trying to figure out what knitting I can take on our trip to Thailand. I'm thinking a shawl, since it would be small and light. This is amazing and I have the perfect person in mind for it, although the cream would be better suited for her and I'm not sure how clean I can keep the cream while travelling and knitting with sweaty fingers. Although the silk/wool blend seems like it would work well there. So, maybe another of Blackberry Ridge's shawls, in a mixed colorway?
