Yarn Along
More peg people hats were knitted up this week. I have to paint up some more peg people, add the hats and then that is it for peg people...for now.
A friend is enjoying the bliss of a new baby and I am hoping to visit soon and meet her new bundle of joy for the first time. A little knitted ball will provide lots of fun in the months to come.
And one of my fingerless gloves is done. It is a little big for my tiny hands, so not sure if I will keep them or not. I will get the other one done first and then decide. I will knit the kid size next time I knit them up, which might be soon.
Not too much reading this week...a little doula reading, a little John Holt and a little The Mother. All good and inspiring.
What are you knitting and reading this week?
Joining in with Ginny and Nicole.

I didn't know you had tiny hands :) Love the mitts and that's on my needles this week! I do love your mitts!!
ReplyDeleteI do :) And thank you, I do love them too, just a little big.
DeleteBeautiful mitts! I love that gray yarn. And I do believe I need to make one of those balls for my little (soon-to-be) 9 month old nephew! Looks like a perfect baby gift! :)
ReplyDeleteThe ball is great. I felted it, thought it might be nice, super easy to knit up.
DeleteI love the mitts and ball! I need to check that out for my Smallest.
ReplyDeleteThe glove came out nice Kim. If you aren't happy with the fit I'm sure you can find someone who would love them. Maybe next time you can change the needle size so you can knit a pair for you?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has tiny hands too and often complains ;)
Thanks Tracey, I am pleased with it, just wish I had listened to my gut and knit the smaller size. I may try it with smaller needles, we'll see.
DeleteThat ball is adorable. Might have to make one for over here! Could you block the gloves to make them smaller? I did that with Sofia's hat and it fits her much better now.
ReplyDeleteThanks KC, super easy to knit up. I am going to block them and hope they come out a little smaller. I also thought of felting them...we will see.
DeleteOoh, what a fun ball! Thinking of all the fun things one could do by using some different textured yarn!
ReplyDeleteIt is very fun and easy to knit up. And yes, so much fun could be had :)
Deletei just love all those wee little peg people. :) the ball is great, what a good idea for a new baby.
ReplyDeleteThanks, me too. I hope the new baby likes it.
DeleteOh my, but you do have tiny hands. Love the ball for the new baby...such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI do :) Thanks!
DeleteI love that little ball! :)
ReplyDeletethe ball is a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Taryn, I was trying to think of something different. I think it will be well loved.
DeleteOoooh - how do you make that ball? It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee, I included the link in the post, really easy pattern to follow.
DeleteMore peg people! How fun :)
ReplyDeleteThere have been a lot of peg people, but they are done for now :)
DeleteYou're a very clever mumma. xxoo
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks Julie.
DeleteI'm loving those mitts! I'm hardly knitting or reading much these days as Iz is keeping me quite busy, but I do have about half the triangles made for the ball I'm stitching up for her. Small steps! If I don't comment again before then, have a lovely weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara. I know your hands are busy right now, honestly though, enjoy it. This time won't come again and there will be lots of time for knitting and reading later.
DeleteThose mitts looks snuggly and warm!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela.
DeleteYour gloves look really cozy, even if you do find them a little big! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are Susan, and I finished the other one yesterday. I will block them this weekend and hopefully be wearing them by Monday :)
DeleteI'm tempted to make that ball for my kids, I'll have to add it to my "things I want to make list" I have so much wip at the moment I still need to finish off, but get so easily distracted with new projects :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty great ball. My little man has been looking at it, I think he wants one too :)
