FO: Hitchin' a Ride

With the craziness that has been the last couple of months I have been craving very simple knits. Thankfully I was gifted by the kind Raerean with the pattern for Hitchhiker by Martina Behm. The pattern was very simple but had a bit of interest with the teeth that you make at the end of each repeat. So here is my Hitchin' a Ride.

This was a total gift project since not only was the pattern gifted to me but I won the yarn in the Knitting Brooklyn Squares for Sandy KAL. The yarn is Fivemoons Luna Plus 4ply in the Marmalade Chutney colorway. It was very nice to work with and created a very squooshy garment. I wanted to use it all up and came very close.

This is all the yarn I had left over - 38".  I was able to enter this in the Martina Behm KAL for the Wolfe Farms and LEMKnitCrochet podcasts and the Orange-Along with The Fat Squirrel Speaks podcast. I absolutely love this shawl. The AC has been on full blast last week at work and having this wrapped around my neck kept the cold air from the vent over my desk from going down my shirt. I highly recommend this one. Until next time ...

WIP: Hitchin' a Ride

I have been looking for some easy knit prjoects lately. Work has been insane for the past 3 months and shows no signs of slowing down. I now have a laptop so I have been working from home at night and on the weekends. In the last week I have worked 15 hours of overtime which to me is insane. So when it comes time to knit I am exhausted and need something fairly mindless to work on. The Hitchhiker suits this need wonderfully. So here is my Hitchin' a Ride.

There are 10 teeth in this picture. I have knit several more since this was taken but I am to lazy to go get the project and count them. The yarn is FiveMoons Luna Plus 4-ply in the Marmalade Chutney colorway. The yarn is fairly nice to knit with and the shawl is very squooshy. I won the yarn in the Squares for Comfort KAL with the Knitting Brooklyn podcast group. I am now using it to knit for the Wolfe Farms/LEMknitCrochet Behm-along and the Orange-along with The Fat Squirrel Speaks group. These both finish at the end of the month so I better get knitting. Until next time ....
