Yarn Along
5:30 AM
It's Wednesday again and that means it's time for the weekly yarn along. I'm joining with Ginny and everyone for a weekly update on books and knitting. I was off all week and really didn't get a whole lot of either accomplished. I did manage to finish of square number two (brown- on the left) for the April member of the month in my square swap group. I then quickly crocheted this pink square for the May member. This is one of my favorite go to crochet baby blanket patterns that I modified to make a square instead of a whole blanket. Next step- blocking and mailing.
Today I worked for a while on the citron while waiting at the mechanic for my car to be fixed. (Hubby- out of town. The G's- out of town. Corrine- at the babysitter. So why not sit and knit?). I am on the fifth section and will probably add two or three more sections to make it bigger. I have plenty of yarn and probably will not use it for anything else. I'm not really liking this lace weight yarn, it just feels funny working with something so thin.
I finally finished The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. I didn't particularly care for the book, mostly because I love Harry Potter so much and this was such a complete turnaround from that type of book. I can't say I hated it, but I didn't like it either. I'm not sure what to read next. I've got a ton of books on my bookshelf from a friend who reads them then passes them off to me. She's retired and reads a lot. I have a two year old and am too tired at night to read. Ha. Ha.
Happy Yarn Along Wednesday.

Sounds like fun to share granny squares. :)
ReplyDeleteI only read the beginning of Casual Vacancy and I really disliked it enough to quit reading it. I think I was turned off by the potty language. I'm all for a sprinkling of salty language but not being beaten over the head with it. Yours squares are beautiful! Can't wait to see your citron!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the bright pink color of that 2nd square! So pretty. Sorry you were disappointed with the JK Rowling book. I hope your next book is better :)
ReplyDeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
