Dragged Across America

In August 2017, my husband and I embarked on an unforgettable road trip across America, joined by two adventurous friends. We set off from the vibrant city of San Francisco, making our way to the iconic New York City. During this incredible journey, we traversed four time zones and seventeen states, including Washington DC, totaling eighteen territories along the way. Our epic adventure covered an impressive three thousand, eight hundred and ninety-four miles, filled with breathtaking sights and cherished memories.

As a fun and creative challenge for this trip, my husband encouraged me to cast on a hat in San Francisco and bind off the final stitches in New York. This project would symbolize our travels, creating a unique piece of knitting that literally spans the distance across America! This hat not only tells a story of our journey but also serves as a beautiful reminder of the experiences we shared while exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of our great nation.
