A YARN ALONG POST

"You will never be able to 
  escape your heart. So it's
  better to listen to what it
  has to say."

~ Paul Coelho














A rainy day this past Saturday
and I knit a pretty hat. Today
I added a big, furry pompom
because I thought it would be
fun.

I knit a mitten to go with
my hat, and a now working
on it's partner.

I am knitting some socks,
simple socks in pretty fall
colors in some favorite yarn.

My bedtime reading is still
Tattoos on the Heart, an
amazingly touching book
and one that makes me want
to give back even more.

My lunchtime book is
The House I Grew Up In
 a book I've just started,
but so far am enjoying.

The Sock Donation's for
the homeless are starting
to come in making my
heart swell with happiness
each time I pick up the mail.
Thank you!

  3. The furry pompom is perfect for the hat and the mittens look great! I ADORE the yarn you are using for the socks, the orange adds such a pretty pop of color. I've knit the socks for you and will try and get them in the mail this week. When I went to get the yarn, JoAnn's was almost out of sock yarn. :-( I had wanted something more neutral and maybe a darker color, but they had absolutely nothing on the shelves.
