~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~
It has been a while since I've participated in the yarn along. It has been a while since I pick up my knitting. I finished my last project over a month ago and just couldn't find any inspiration. And then, well you know how it is. It was just time to pick up some needles and dig through the stash and find a little project. That project - the Hetty, a darling baby girl top. You can find the free pattern on Ravelry. I think my little one with love this. And the yarn, a gift from a dear friend that moved away just a few short months ago. I miss her terribly, but knitting with this yarn she gifted me, help me feel close to her. Crazy, but that how it is.
As for reading, I have been busy studying. I'm enrolled in the Family Herbalist Course from Vintage Remedies. It is truly amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in natural health. It covers everything from nutrition to body chemistry, herbal medicine to aromatherapy and oh so much more.
Extra Yarn is a cute book Bekah picked out on our weekly library trip. We are both enjoy it. A very cute story about how sharing a little color can change a lot.
It feels good to be knitting again and joining in here at the Yarn Along. Don't forget to hop on over and she all the wonderful fiber crafting and reading going on. It is always inspiring.
Most of my reading is patterns or something I am reading to the kids at night. Really I seem to like the kids book better than the adult books.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat little sweater! I loved Extra Yarn. It's definitely going on my Christmas list this year.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, it is lovely that you feel closer to your friend through knitting with her yarn :) That book is on my list for when I eventually get to the library!!
ReplyDeleteI just read Extra Yarn and thought it was adorable -- both the story and the illustrations. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time with your sweater. ;)
