Chickens and knitting ~

In my story yesterday of the five chickens that would not be caught, I forgot to mention that I was out there knitting while watching them take their dust baths. The scarf is knit horizontally, with pieces of yarn made from unusual fibers, like bamboo, tencel, corn, and others that we learned about 2 years ago at the Sewing Expo with Roberta. I knit this scarf once, and it was too short, so I ripped it back and cast one twice as many stitches this time... so knitting one row takes a long time!

See how my knitting interests Hillary! She was paying close attention to me & my yarn!

But it is mindless knitting, just right while watching the chickens and making sure the neighborhood raccoons don't get them...
