YARN ALONG

“All our progress is an unfolding,

 like the vegetable[fruit] bud,

 you have first an instinct,

then an opinion, then a

knowledge, as the plant

has root, bud and fruit.

Trust the instinct to the

end, though you can render

 no reason."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am so happy to finally
have something new on
my needles this week.
Since I finished my cardigan
I wanted something that
would knit up a little quicker,
something that would continue
to expand my knitting skills
and that I could actually use this
summer; in my opinion I think
 The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief
is the perfect pattern for all of this.
I have learned to do a garter tab,
to Make 1 right and Make 1 left
so my knitting skills are growing.
I am using Rowan Lenpur Linen
in Vivid  and I love this yarn!
Not only is the yarn super soft, I
think it's so cool that it's made from
pine trees just like the ones I 
plant and grow on my property. 
I am still reading Sheepish
and enjoying it immensely.
While reading Sheepish,  I
have laughed and cried, dreamed
of owning sheep and have a
strong desire to order a spinning
wheel. I am trying to read
it slowly so 'it will last',
but sometimes it's really hard
to put down and to top it off
each chapter begins with a
quote!
Now, what have you been up
to this week?
Joining up with Ginny for this
week's Yarn Along.
