YARN ALONG

“Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, 
to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only 
celebration we mortals really know. In perfect 
stillness, frankly, I've only found sorrow.”

~ The Poisonwood Bible
     Barbara Kingsolver

My knitting has been a wee

bit scattered these last few 

days which is not how I 

like anything in my life to

unfold. I have been fighting

a cold so I am going to lay

the blame there and try to

get myself organized more.

I pulled my poor neglected

Follow Me  wrap from the

bottom of my basket and 

have been knitting a few rows

each night, It's a very easy knit,

I love the yarn and the design

so I am hoping to have it

finished in time to wear before

the oppressive heat once again

arrives and stays for months

and months.

I knit a hat over the weekend,

The Conversationalist., to give

to my friend and I am thrilled 

that she loves it, especially the

pink pompom!

I have also been working on a 

practice piece for the Ewden

cardigan I am planning on knitting.

While I was unsure of myself and 

having major doubts that I could

ever knit this pattern and have it

wearable, now that I have played 

with the pattern I understand  it

so much better and as soon as I 

complete the Follow up wrap 

 I will cast on with my Christmas

yarn.

I am reading quite a lot more during

the day than I usually do. Amanda is

hosting a Poisonwood Bible read along

and I am trying to stay caught up. I  keep

finding myself running to the computer

to research something mentioned in the

book and along with the enjoyment

of the story, I am getting quite a history

lesson,

Joining. Ginny
