YARN ALONG

I care.
I care a lot.
It's kinda
my thing.











Before I talk about my current
knit I want to give each of you
a virtual hug and a big thank
you, the response to the need
for socks for the homeless was
all I knew it would be and it's
all because of you. You are
awesome!

I am so close to being finished
with the cardigan I am knitting
for Porter, my three month old
grand son.

I will confess to not reading the
pattern right concerning inches
and centimeters and had to do
some ripping out; I thought it
was looking a little big ;)
Anyway, I just finished one sleeve
and have started the other so
all that remains after that is finding
four buttons and I think I am going
to have to accomplish that on line
since I can't find any I like in my
town.

I am almost done reading
Ordinary Grace and while
I am enjoying the story the
writing needs some heavy
editing.
Next up on my night stand
is Tattoos on the Heart, a
book I will be reading for
book club and one I've heard
is fantastic.

Joining Ginny

    The red is simply gorgeous. I am putting Tattoos on my Heart on my list. It sounds wonderful. I think too much so called compassion and caring for others today comes with an agenda. There is just not enough real serving of others. I am so glad you had a good response to your call for socks. What a wonderful idea.

    Lovely photos and what a cute cardigan. I think a few playful mis-matched buttons would do very nicely.

    Tattoos on the Heart sounds like one I need to add to my list. Porter's sweater looks so good! I'm so glad you got a good response to your need for socks <3

    He will look so handsome in that gorgeous red sweater. I really like the story, Ordinary Grace. I don't remember so much of the editing and I usually don't unless it is glaringly obvious (like in 50 shade of grey- that was horrible).

    I care a lot too and sometimes I think it's the best thing about me and sometimes I think it might be one of the worst! :) Your basket is so pretty and I really love the red sweater. It's coming along beautifully so far. I haven't heard of the book but I'm going to look it up right now. Hope you're having a good week, Tracey.

    Beautiful pictures as always! I have to confess it is encouraging to me when I hear of knitters who I see as so much more advanced than me having to rip things out now and then :) Although I am sorry for that for your sake!

    That is such a sweet little cardigan and I love the fact that you chose the vibrant red instead of a typical boy color. Can't wait for Porter to model it for us.

    That bright red yarn is such a nice spot of color Tracey! I'm curious to hear more about that book you just started reading. :)

    P.S. Happy Birthday to you too! <3

    That is one, snazzy red for Porter! I love red on boys. I always like seeing bark. it's so neat how it's textured and how when trees have it like shingles layered upon one another.
