I finished my second hitchhiker shawl over the weekend and I'm quite pleased with the results. I decided to knit 45 teeth sections which required me to dig through my stash and unearth some purple sock yarn to achieve my goal. There is something soothing in knitting garter stitch and making each row longer and longer. I'll be saving this finished knit for the fall to wear. The yarn was a Christmas gift from a friend and I loved the colors that were throughout the skein. I started reading A Reliable Wife a few days ago and the reviews are iffy on Goodreads. However, whenever a book description includes the word 'gothic', I am roped in because in my youth I read nothing but gothic romance novels. So far I am enjoying it.
