Yarn Along


The honey cowl is coming along and I am really enjoying the pattern, easy and fun. Leading up to the holidays I was busy knitting smaller, kid size projects, I kinda forgot what it is like to knit a larger project, no instant gratification on this one.

The plan is to keep working away on this, and also cast on another pair of fingerless mitts, a quicker project, just to keep things interesting.

I am back to doula reading most of the time right now, but I did take a study break to read this lovely new magazine over the weekend. It is amazing and filled with so much goodness.

What are you knitting and reading?

Joining in with Ginny and Nicole

P.S. Still time to enter this lovely giveaway.

    I'm reading Playful Parenting, but looking for some good fiction! I'm not knitting, but you've got me thinking that maybe I want to! xx

    Seeing your photo makes me want to cast on a Honey Cowl myself, and I even have the same colored yarn!

      It's a fun knit Tracey, and I bet you would have it done a lot faster than I.

    The honey cowl is coming along so beautifully! I like switching up between long and short term projects-then you get the best of everything!

    This cowl looks lovely! You made me laugh when you said there's no instant gratification on this one...I am knitting for a little person and still no instant gratification for me! Hahahha!

    The honey cowl is lovely. I like the color. I also like working on a larger knitting project and then supplement with smaller ones. Happy Knitting!

    I try to switch between quick projects and longer ones - I find if I have too much going at once I get nothing done, as if I can't choose which to work on! But have some accomplishment is necessary too. Looking forward to watching them come along :)

    Aha, I had to look up Cowl on the internet to know what your project is supposed to result in!
    Now I know what it is and I think it will be beautiful!

    I love the colorway of your honey cowl. It reminds me of soft moss.

    the honey cowl is on my list to knit as well. and it is true, knitting for big people goes a lot slower than knitting for littles. lol i am patiently waiting for my copy of that magazine as well. :)
