I'm joining Kat and fellow Unravelers for Unraveled Wednesday and returning to my comfort knitting with a Hitchhiker.
The true colors are somewhere near this photo, but I will take a photo in natural light when I'm a bit further along.
I have plenty more yarn than the tiny little ball I'm working with, but this is some of the oldest stuff in my stash and I had to cut out some carpet beetle-chewed damage after the yarn spent a couple of years in the freezer. Between this Hitchhiker and the cowl I showed you yesterday, I'm all set for meditative projects.I've read a few books over the past couple of weeks - ranging from Bittersweet ( a disappointing two stars for me), to three-star Search and Instructions for a Heatwave, and a surprising four-star time travel novel, This Time Tomorrow. As always, if you're interested in my reviews and thoughts, you can click on the titles in the "Bonny's Bookshelf: read" sidebar on the right.
What are you making and reading this week?
Your Hitchhiker reminds me of a firey sunset! My knitting and reading are pretty much where they were last week...not much has happened with either. Hopefully that will change soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely Hitchhiker, Bonny! I think those colors are just stunning -- and Vera's right . . . fiery sunset, indeed. XO
ReplyDeleteI really like this yarn, Bonny. It's very happy and bright. It's the perfect time to return to comfort reading, knitting, and habits, I think. I have been busy taking myself and my husband to Dr. appointments, so not a lot of new anything that's worth sharing. Hopefully, things will calm down a bit toward the middle of the month. Happy June, and here's hoping current events become more hopeful soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, I now think of Hitchhikers as comfort knitting and always will. Mine is still plodding along, though it's much moodier than yours. I only just heard about This Time Tomorrow in the last week and am glad to hear your positive review!
ReplyDeletewell isn't that a cheerful knit? I've got two shawls on the needles and both are mindless which is the way I like it these days.
ReplyDeleteLove all those bright colors together, Bonny! That's a happy, cheerful Hitchhiker!
ReplyDeleteI love this new Hitchhiker! The colors are just wonderful! And thank you for giving me a couple more books for my list! :)
ReplyDeleteI say this every time you knit a hitchhiker but I think THIS ONE is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis latest hitchhiker is a beauty. The colors in this photo strike me as a fiery sunset somewhere in the Southwest US. Comfort knitting is a must these days.
