YARN ALONG

"Love pushes a knitter's needles-
my needles- to create the best
we can for our family. And we
click on, anxious to see their
enchantment with what we have
created just for them."
~ Michelle Edwards in
A knitter's Home Companion

Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Joining with Ginny

I finished knitting the socks

I have been working on for

my son along with a pair of

fingerless gloves and as soon

as they are done blocking  I

will take a few pictures to

show you. I am very pleased

with how they turned out and

just hope he likes them.

After knitting with all that

brown I thought it would be

fun to use something with a

little color. I pulled an iridescent

tweed stripe from my stash

and cast on this lush-ious swirl cowl

for my daughter in-law's mother.

It's hard sometimes getting older

and going through all the changes

that come with middle age,

[as I know all too well]  so I

thought she might like a little

surprise to brighten her day.

The color of the yarn is really

radiant and since she is a beautiful

and bright soul, I thought

this would look perfect on her.

Sometimes it's just nice to receive

something just because, you know?

I am still [slowly] reading

The Knitter's Home Companion

and loving it!

What have you been up to

this week?
