Stripey Sock Love

Sometimes I think I could just knit striped socks for the rest of my life. Color changes amuse me so much.

Even when it is early in the knitting process the color changes are so neat.

 Almost as nice as the flowering trees around here.

Why yes that is a chicken

I was looking for something new to knit. My shawl bender stalled out in the lace portion of a shawl and I just knit a couple of pairs of socks for a friend. What now?

Burt thought I might have knit him a shark fin... finally. But then I kept on knitting.

I did indeed take a wrong turn in Albuquerque, and produced a square tailfeather. But I realized it and ripped back without issue.

So this is the tailfeathers and sides opened up. What is that called in cooking again Spacacht? Nope I mean spatchcocking. I've never done it but now I've knit it.

I was so excited to have a chicken half done. Looking good clucker.

She looks even better with half a face.

 

Go chickie go!! Knit like the wind.

And just like that I was stuffing a chicken. Isn't she just adorable? I had no idea making a chicken would be so rewarding.

Although she took a wrong turn in Albuquerque too.

Or she just has a lot of questions about the world.

I'm not so sure either.
