creaking

It was the trees creaking, not me! Always a little disconcerting but the wind wasn't very strong. This photo was taken where the path through the forest is narrow and steep. I don't know if these trees will ever be harvested.

I finished my hat this afternoon, washed and blocked it and it is almost dry now and ready to wear. A little on the big side for me, so I'll change needle size for the next one. I have learned so much while knitting it and my skills have definitely improved. I have a pattern for the hat from last year's Shetland Wool Week which I want to try out as well. I have resisted the urge to cast on tonight - I will wait until the weekend.

Jess was thoroughly brushed this evening - bits of the forest were removed from her coat and she was detangled :-)
