YARN ALONG

The best-dressed woman
 is one whose clothes
wouldn't look too strange
in the country.

 ~Hardy Amies

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.

Well, it's  done...
I finally finished my
    Abigail Cardi!
I love it and only wish it
were a lot cooler so I could
wear it everyday, but this
is the deep south so
it will be a little while
until I can fully enjoy it.
I am thankful I don't need a
coat here so when winter does
come I have plans to wear
it daily! Well, that and the
next one I plan to knit in
a different color.

I just cast on a cowl
designed by my dear friend
Karen from Pumpkin Sunrise.
Isn't she just amazing?
I am using Patons Angora-Bamboo
yarn in Soft White which
I love as it is so soft and
will feel great when worn
against the neck.

I picked up a little book
while browsing Tuesday Morning,
Simple Knits with a Twist.
I wanted it because I would
love to knit the ballet shoes
on the cover. The slippers are
knit with ribbon and I thought
they would be fun. I only paid
a few dollars for the book
and really that's all it's worth.
I would not pay what I just
saw on Amazon. If anyone would
like to see the book I would
be happy to share, just let
me know.

What have you been up to
this week?
