Hitching dragons

I finished up my second Hitchhiker scarf out of my handspun “Dragon Days” mixed BFL from Pigeonroof Studios.

You might think it’s just like my other one.

And they are close, but the new one is more green, more intensely hued, and I spun it a little too thin, so the gauge is half the size of the other – or is it twice the size?

I made it for a gift, but I was reeeaaaaally tempted to swap it out for my old one.

The colors are iridescent and change depending on the light, though sunlight is my favorite because it is at its greenest best then.

I love the striping from the spun singles.

And the size is good too – bigger than my other one.

I’ve got a few more gift knits to complete in the next month or two, so I’m going to continue to be busy with unselfish knitting for a bit (I’m not counting the selfish spinning) but there just might be a startitis explosion soon after though…
