Yarn Along

6:00 AM

Welcome to Wednesday! It's time once again for the weekly yarn along. Books and knitting. Two of my favorite things. I'm moving along quite nicely on the Log Cabin Blanket. I'm now on color block 16 which is this bright watermelon color. I'm trying to not repeat any colors (although towards the end that may be impossible) so I have to use this color. I know it looks orange in this picture, but it is really a bright pink. I tried inside, outside, flash, no flash to take this picture and it just doesn't convey the true color.

I also finished a crochet project I've been working on. It's a crib size baby blanket made entirely out of scrap yarn from many years of baby blanket projects. My plan is to donate this blanket to the Linus Project.

I just yesterday finished The Roots of the Olive Tree by Courtney Miller Santo. I highly recommend this book. It was a great story that was told from the perspective of five generations of women. I can now read another library book that has just been sitting by the bedside, waiting patiently... It is Where We Belong by Emily Giffin.

Happy Yarn Along Wednesday!

Woah! Pink? I'm not sure if it would be my favorite but I admire you for giving it a home.

Thank you for the comment! I LOVE your sweet blanket, good for you for donating it! I think I might have to try something like that as I have lots of baby yarn left over from many years of baby blankets. I scrolled through your blog for awhile, your little girl is such a sweetie!!! Enjoy they fall weather while it lasts! They are forecasting more snow our way this weekend-the kids are excited-I guess I could be too lol!
Blessings
