Hatching Chickens and Prodigal Needles

May 29th, 2007

Remember when I said I hoped to finish my cherry leaf shawl by the end of the week? Well, that is not going to happen. As my mother used to tell me, “Never count your chickens until they’ve hatched.” (I guess I was counting my chickens a bit early on that one.) I was knitting merrily along with a friend over the weekend, and making a bit of progress. However, I was distracted by a late night and lots of laughter and one of my needles managed to escape from my project bag and remained at her house. So yesterday a new project was born. This one will keep me busy until my prodigal needle makes its way back home.

EDIT: In his comment to this post, my husband reminded me that Sarah, our cat, really is a chicken…

    That is so funny. I forgot about that. For those of you who have not met my Sarah-cat personally, she not only has the same deer-in-the-headlights look as Babs the chicken, but the same personality as well. Lol, thanks dear.
