Yarn Along
6:00 AM
It's Wednesday again and that means it is time for the weekly yarn along. I'm joining with Ginny and everyone to share books and yarn! I love this weekly update and I seem to have been a slacker of late. I did a quick pair of fingerless mitts last week, but have mostly been working on Hanorah and my September square for the Ravelry group. I thought once I was almost done with the group and come to find out I have to make a square for October too! Ugh. I just want to knit for myself. It's ok, though, once I finish the September square I'm going to crochet a cute little square for the October person and then I'm done!
As for reading, I finished Girls in White Dresses. All I can say was it was OK...ok not really. Most of the main characters annoyed the crap out of me and I wanted to shake them and tell them they were idiots. The book follows them from college to work to wedding showers (and bridesmaids dresses) to baby showers. Maybe I don't get it because the world they were living in is not my world.
Now I'm reading a book by P. D. James called The Lighthouse. I'm only a little way in so no opinion on it yet. But I do love a good murder mystery. I just downloaded a new Michael Connelly book onto the iPad. It's called The Closers. I'm trying to read all of the middle of the series books that I haven't read yet and now some things from the later books are making sense.
Happy Yarn Along Wednesday!

love love love your yarn mail, so pretty! Okay, not going to read girls in white dresses :) I love when people say yay or nay to books, it helps in the selection.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try Quince and Co. I have heard such great things about that yarn. Can't wait to see how your project turns out.
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing that color for myself, I love Quince & Co yarn.
ReplyDeleteI love a good mystery myself, the Secret History is pretty good.
I love PD James and that yarn is scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteOooo, that pink yarn is so pretty! Quince & Co. yarn is a delight to work with. I really like your purple fingerless mitts--they turned out lovely and look great with your new coat. Mysteries are my favorite. I've never read PD James, but I know she's wildly popular. I'll have to put The Lighthouse on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn!! I am working with Quince & Co for the first time and really enjoying it, and their colors really are a delight. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that pink is lovely. It will make a perfect baby sweater!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty pink colorway. Looking forward to seeing it all knit up... :)
ReplyDeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
