Yarn Along


I had a friend request fingerless mitts and a cowl last week. Can you guess my response? YES, of course. I love knitting for people who will appreciate the time and effort of handmades as well as the joy I get from creating them. So the fingerless mitts are on the needles, one is done, just finishing up the second one. The lovely purple is for the cowl.

On the reading front, I am working my way through Use Your Words, and really enjoying it. The doula reading will start back up again this week after a little break. It was just the break I needed and now I am ready to get back at it.

What are you knitting and reading this week?

Joining in with Ginny and Nicole.

    I think that is a friend to keep forever! Aren't you so nice to oblige? I do love that basket that you tote your project in.

    Those colors are sooo pretty. How kind of you... your friend is a lucky gal!
    Thanks for the link. That book looks interesting.
    I am reading Workshops Work by Patricia over at Wonderfarm.
    Knitting more bracelets... they are so fast and fun.

      Thanks Dawn. It is a great book, I highly recommend it.

      I just got Patricia's book in the mail, can't wait to dig into it. Looking forward to you sharing your bracelet pattern with us :)

    I LOOOVE those colors!! I know how girly of me but magenta just makes me feel happy. I need something to carry my knitting in. Especially now that I have three new projects to work on.

      Thanks KC! I have tried a few things to carry my knitting in and this is it, I think. It works perfectly.

      I know, the sunshine has been amazing. It was pretty grey here for about a week, but the last few days have been amazing.

    You're right, there is nothing like making something for a person that will truly appreciate the gift. If only the days were longer in order to complete more projects and gifts every week...

    You are the best kind of friend Kim, one you loves from the heart and your friend is blessed to have you.
    Is it warm there so you can knit outside? The rest of the US is getting winter weather and I am almost 80 again today, but that is suppose to change soon although I don't think I'll be getting my snow.

      Awe, thanks Tracey. Not warm enough to knit outside, the fingers get cold. We had a ton of snow, but mild weather came in on the weekend and it is all gone. It has been a beautiful week, but really so wrong for this time of year.

      I know my parents don't want snow when they get down there :) They will be there soon.

    Beautiful. I was reading Use Your Words as well, but can't even remember much at this point. I'll look forward to cracking it open again when I have the time to really dig in.
