YARN ALONG

The cure for anything is salt water-
                     sweat,
                     tears,
                        or
                     the sea.

~ Isak Dinesen


















While I work on Christmas
gifts year round the month
of December always finds
me with a list that is not
complete. 

Since I know I have family
members that visit here I am
only showing you a peek of
what is currently taking up
most of my knitting time...
tis' the season. :)

I can share with you a future
yarn along project that I
was thrilled to win from
Susan B. Anderson and
Infinite Twist, The
Heyward Shawl Kit.
I am looking forward to
casting on just as soon
as all my Christmas knitting
is wrapped.

I am still reading My Sister's Grave
and can see it being made into
a tv movie in the future; it's
a very easy read.

Joining with  Ginny.

  10. Ooh lots of lovely things here Tracey. Your quote is interesting. I remember when I was tiny falling and getting a septic knee. My father took me to the Drs and he prescribe salt water baths for my knee.

    I feel so selfish this year reading of all the gifts you have made as I've just completed my third hat for myself! I must get on with some stocking fillers for others.
    Enjoy knitting your gorgeous yarn.

  12. I just ordered from Infinite Twist too! I ordered the Wizzpopper in the Larkspur colorway. It will actually be a Christmas present from hubby (wasn't that nice of me to do the shopping for him?). And I do agree - saltwater is the cure for many things.
