Yarn Along



Hello! Wednesday already? Joining with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along.

So, I have finally finished all of the projects that I was making Phoebe for her birthday, and have now started something for moi! I am knitting myself a couple of pillow covers from this pattern. I have started with the back, which is just stockinette stitch and completely mindless. Perfect for my Downton Abby watching. And so sad that it has ended......

And although I have not snapped any pictures of them being modeled, as little Miss Phoebe has been sick for the pact two days, I have taken some photos of Phoebe's in-threes sweater, her plain vest, and her Summer into Fall jumper. I used some super inexpensive yarn for Phoebe's plain vest, and I am pretty disappointed with the way it turned out. Not that I normally use super expensive yarn, but this stuff was super cheap. Oh well. Lesson learned. I am happy with the other two projects though! (P.S.- the wonderful buttons on Phoebe's in-threes came from the lovely Taryn of Wooly Moss Roots!





Right Now I am reading The Human Age by Diane Ackerman. It's non-fiction about how humans are affecting the planet. So far I am loving it and may use it for my class next term. And, I got War and Peace back from the library again, so I am trying to plow through as much as that as I can before it has to go back again.

    Your baby knits are so cute! And the Diane Ackerman book sounds very interesting... I'm off to see if my library has a copy.

    They are all just adorable! I have had that happen with yarn several times. It's a great bargain but then I don't enjoy knitting with it or how it turns out. Lessons learned....

    I think your knits are just beautiful and I know your sweet girl must love them
    I just saw that Downton Abby is on Prime so maybe I can finally catch an episode.
