How many handknits does it take to catch a fish?

By -


Well, let's see:

Malabrigo felted hat
koigu fingerless
malabrigo cowl
(under jacket) Alpaca zip vest.

4 handknits. One Nice Northern Pike, and one (not shown) 17 inch large mouth bass.

No Knitters were harmed in the days activities.

Do you love the great outdoors? Do you knit in the great outdoors?
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Love the fish! What a catch!

I love the great outdoors. I love to knit, and I love to view the great outdoors while knitting--say, from my deck, with a glass of wine...

That's about 2 handknit items per fish, not a bad average.

That is one great catch! Did you knit the fish net too??? ;) Great knit accessories... I am going to have to make a cowl - it looks so cozy!

I think yoel may have something... "patterns from nature"! :)

Catch and release of course! I got to put them both back in the water and see them swim happily off.

No, it is not a knitted fishy. It is a real fishy. With real teeth. I had to hold him by his gills. Ewwww. But I did it.

Excellent! Did you knit in the boat or just wear knits in the boat? I always take a sock to work on when we go out in the canoe. Superwash. Just in case.

You are lucky to have the great outdoors... here the little green left are turned into houses, houses and more houses. (ugh!) I'm longing for a walk in the forest...:-)

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
