YARN ALONG

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?  Joining Ginny for the Yarn Along.

I need to apologize for
the grey pictures because
even though we don't have
the rain we need so badly,
we do have cloudy, grey
skies and I just couldn't
get a bright photo.

I wasn't going to,  I
thought I had talked
myself into waiting, but
I broke down and cast on
Star Crossed Slouchy Beret.
Since the pattern uses
size 10 and size 11 needles,
this should be a very
fast knit.  I feel very
selfish because I really
want to keep it for myself.

My Abigail is moving right
along and I am almost
done with the raglan shaping,
but with each row there is
an eight stitch increase so I
am not moving along as
fast as I thought, although
I have to say I am just enjoying
the process so there's no rush.

I finally opened my copy of
Coop which has been on
my nightstand every since
Amanda recommended it
on a past Yarn Along. It
took me a little while to
get use to the author's
style of writing as he switches
from his childhood to the
present, but now I am
really enjoying the book. I
have bonded with the people
on the pages and want to
learn about their stories,
their lives, what happens,
I'm hooked!
