I did it. I reached 42, 42 teeth that is. I love my Hitchhiker scarf, but boy was I starting to hate it. It took me just over two-and-a-half weeks to make, with each row adding more and more stitches. It really felt like it would never end. Thursday night I was so fortunate to leave my house alone. Thursday night is knit night at The Fiber Universe and I want to be there if I can.
It was a magical evening. I was away from my house and family. (I have been craving a bit of alone time lately.) I signed up for a Beginning Spinning class taking place on this Saturday. (Very, very excited about this one.) I bought yarn to make my brother-in-law's scarf. (Very pretty, I mean masculine, gray from Cascade 220.) And the crowning achievement-finished the Hitchhiker!!!
It took nearly two hours of knitting to get through the last two "teeth" and bind off. I quickly sewed in the ends and wore it home.
I love this thing. The thousands of tiny stitches--on size US 3 needles with fingerling yarn. From end to end it is over 6 feet., just the way I like my scarves.
