After having a brain freeze on finishing the Hitchhiker last night, I finished it today. Even though I did it out of acrylic scrap yarn, I will wash it, take a picture, take care of all the knots before hand, and upload the picture. I am now trying one in, I think it is, red heart wool ease aran fleck oatmeal color. The band is totally gone, but the wool feels sooo different than the acrylic. I know its not the top shelf wool but I am just trying this pattern in different yarns. But in all the funness of this pattern, my wrists, shoulders, and back are feeling it. I know this isn't a really hard pattern after you figure out the translation of binding off, I just feel I need to get one more tooth done.
Am listening to the goodies part of Diane of Knitabulls vidcast from stuff of SSK. Think I need to save my pennies for a couple of years to see if I can do one of these retreats. I know I am pretty unskilled, self taught knitter but I would sometime see what these are all about.
Gotta go to bed early tonight....allergies are playing havoc with me. Damn cottonwood floating out there like summertime flurries.
