Knitting This Week
6:00 AMIt's Wednesday again and that means it is time for the weekly yarn along. I'm joining with Ginny and everyone to share yarn and books. It has been a busy couple of weeks for me and my knitting projects have taken a back burner to life!
This past Sunday I finished up the left front of the purple sweater (the one that I ripped out a couple of weeks ago) and was very excited that I was close to the making up, but then realized that I still had to knit the sleeves... Ugh. The deadline for turning in handmade items for the silent auction is Saturday. I have let the coordinator know that while I will not make that deadline, I am close to finishing.
I got some money for Christmas. I bought yarn. The blue, white, red and yellow yarn will be Colorado hats. Bryan wants one and I may make one for myself. I will probably also make one for my brother. I've got two patterns- one is a knit pattern and the other is a crochet pattern. I like both of them and may do both.
Happy Yarn Along Wednesday!

I love reading books that are set in places that you know. We have three local WI authors that I love for that reason: Jerry Apps, Jess Riley, and Michael Perry.
ReplyDeletepretty yarns for hats and I love your splurge :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Christmas yarn for hats, but that Calico yarn is just divine and will make beautiful socks.
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling to have met Robert [or Bob as his friends call him ;)] I have been a fan forever!
New yarn! Fun fun! I love all the vibrant colors you chose and that Calico is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like reading books that take place in your own town. Very nice yarn splurge! I have heard Fancy Tiger is an amazing place.
ReplyDeleteis this the year of the hats and no one told me??? seems all my blog friends are hat-knitting!!! You've got some great colors to work with!!! have fun!
ReplyDeleteI also really enjoy reading books that have a familiar sense of place. As a Canadian, and fan of the Eastern Townships in Quebec, I love reading Louise Penny. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
