First time trying single chevron and also joining new yarn! Now I guess I have to learn how to weave the ends in 😂
#knitting
Working needle holds short section of a single chevron stitch about three inches across. Yarn is dark purple on purple acrylic needles. On the left some ends are visible where I joined a new skein in. My left hand holds the knitting.

A couple wider shots and some more fun trees while hiking 🍂
View of a wide river with woods on the opposite side. In the foreground there are branches on the ground and in the water, with a tree peeking in on the left side. Tree with medium brown flat mushroom growths up and down the trunk. The hiking trail is visible to the left. Tree with significant bark peeled away, revealing a patterned surface underneath. The pattern is very swirly and irregular, brown on brown. Surrounding area is lightly wooded, partially dying due to the season but still plenty of green. Wide hiking path going through a field of tall grass, yellow and decaying due to the season. A lone tree with yellow trees is nearby on the left, with many green trees in the background.

Saw some interesting things on my hike today! It was cloudy and humid but I’m glad I went 🌿🦌🦋🍄‍🟫🌳
A dead tree that’s been trimmed back to clear a hiking trail. The trunk is elevated amongst heavy brush with the cut end about 6 feet off the ground. The interior of the trunk shows that it’s been heavily eaten away by critters. The remaining pieces on the ground, not seen here, are also similarly eaten away. Primary focus is a small tree leaning towards the left, and the lower three feet of the trunk has deep ridges, so perhaps something was tied around the trunk while it was growing. The ridged part is fairly thick with the rest up top thinner. Also in the image is the hiking trail to the left with lots of dying grass and small branches scattered around the ground. A small rounded light beige mushroom with a very rounded top. I don’t know the type. The top looks like it has stretch marks. It’s surrounded by dead leaves, twigs, and a few small green growths. A butterfly in a field partly made up of dead grass and partly green weeds. The butterfly is primarily an orangey brown with four bright orange spots, six yellow and brown rings, and some white splotches.

Went hiking yesterday for the first time in awhile and I wish I were there again now instead of at work 😂

I’ve seen the bison here many times but this was my first time seeing the prairie dogs! Also saw several deer as usual.
Prairie dogs in a field with woods in the background and the corner of an enclosure in the left foreground. Marshy river with tall plants surrounded by mix of plains and trees. View from elevated hiking trail showing wooded area with a river in the distance and city buildings in the very far distance. Bison grazing in a lightly wooded large enclosure.

To cope with current stress, I’m learning how to knit! I still make mistakes of course but it’s been very calming.

Feel free to drop any advice and/or your own craft project below!
