Off the needles

Do you see him?


Actually, I guess he's a her.  She's the first deer I've seen on our property since the social distancing started.  I guess even the deer are getting tired of staying home.

I finished my Hitchhiker finally.  I've knit a thousand of these over the years and I think this is the first one I've actually knit all 43 teeth.  I always either run out of yarn, get bored, or simply get too excited to start the next project.  This time around, the yarn was so glorious to work with, I didn't mind knitting all 43 teeth.  I even considered giving it extra teeth but....  It's long enough as is and now I have left over yarn to add to my Rambling Rows afghan.

The Rambling Rows may prove to be my downfall.  It was supposed to be my 'while I read' project and I had several other projects planned for this month but I just can't put it down.  I just can't!  The call of a new square and a new yarn is just too strong and I can't help myself.  I think I might need a meeting.

  1. Your Hitchhiker is beautiful! That is such a pretty color and I bet that pink is very flattering.

  2. I think all the wildlife is getting bolder now that we're not outside as much. We got pretty close to a deer when we went for a walk in the woods last weekend, and even the squirrels in our yard are letting me get closer than usual!

    Your Hitchhiker looks great! I still need to start mine.

  5. Your Hitchhiker is really beautiful! I love the color/texture of that yarn -- it's perfection. (Our deer? NOT social distancing at all. . . ) Have a great weekend.

  6. The way the colors move on your Hitchhiker is very pretty. I'm the same way on my nine patch blanket. I haven't worked on it for awhile because I know once I bring it out I won't want to do anything else.
    Blessings,

  7. I love that scarf - really pretty color and looks so cozy! I love the look of your blanket, too, a patchwork memory of all your knitting projects! That will be snuggly.

  11. We have a lot of deer here and I see them everyday. Sometimes walking right in my little backyard. I wish we had less traffic so they had more room to roam. Love your Hitchhiker.
