to this ...
with lots of pauses along the way to look at it and ask, "Do I really like this?"
On the bright side, I guess I do. It's cheery and wearable. I'm not sure that I love the variegated jumble of colors. I like them much better when they are distinct and discrete in the skein. I fell for the skein without thinking what it would look like when knit.
I do like longer and narrower shawls, but I may do some more math and try to knit my next one longer and narrower without the making the points quite so big. They almost disappear even after blocking. Lessons learned!

modeled shot? ;-) I think it's going to be very wearable and fun! I'm also thinking "wow, how is it that I've never knit a hitchhiker?"
ReplyDeleteI love it both in the skein and also knitted! I think it will add a nice pop on a dreary day.
ReplyDeleteI really need to try a Hitchhiker ...
I love it! It is so cute! AND!! It will go with everything! The clothesline shot is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWhen the scarf is wrapped around your neck or shoulders its going to look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome. It's bright and cheerful and we need that during the gray days of winter. And, it will go with everything.
ReplyDeletewow wow wow! I love it!! It is a work of art :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors too. It's going to look great and bring some lovely pop to whatever you're wearing!
ReplyDeleteOh my...I love this!!

What a gorgeous skein of yarn. The shawl will go with everything!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll love wearing it. And I like your proposed mods for the next one, too!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous hank of yarn, and the shawl turned out beautifully! Lovely shot of color that'll be... makes me smile. For the future file: It's sometimes interesting to use a slip-stitch pattern with that type of yarn. Add me to the list of people who've never knit a Hitchhiker -- and I always wonder why not!!
