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 with Ginny for this week's Yarn Along.

I am so very close to finishing
my Abigail cardi! I just finished
knitting the ribbing and am
binding off the body. Once that
task is complete all that remains
are the sleeves and the collar.
My fingers are crossed that by
next week's Yarn Along I will
be showing you a completed
cardigan.
This weekend I did take a little
side trip, casting on a Ruffly Scarf
for my daughter. Her 8th
wedding anniversary was
yesterday and with her husband
being in boot camp I really
wanted her to have a little
something to unwrap and I
know she has admired this
type of scarf. I changed the
pattern just a wee bit, using
a size 10 1/2 circular needle
and cast on 150 stitched to make
it longer. I wish I had gotten
a picture of her unwrapping it
and then wearing it, it's perfect
for her and she was so surprised.

I know I'm a little slow as everyone
was talking about this book last year, 
but I finally picked up ICE POP JOY
and am loving it! Since we didn't
have a winter and spring has seen
temperatures in the mid 80's, I
am a little concerned about
summer. If the temperatures
become too unbearable I may
just live off of popsicles until
fall and with this book I have
found some recipes that I
could do that.
Now, what have you been up
to this week?
