YARN ALONG

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.

So much can happen in
just seven short days.
I finished Star Crossed Slouchy Beret
and had my daughter
model it for you.
I like that you can wear
it up and show the pattern,
or tuck your hair in and
wear it slouchy. It's two
hats in one! :)
I found it to be a fun
knit and would love to
knit a few more.

We had a cold front come
in over the weekend and
while all the fruit trees look
okay, my poor tulip tree didn't
fair so well and lost all of
it's early blooms. Also
lost this week was my
Abigail Cardigan.  It seems

I can't read a pattern

properly and ended up

with a yoke 26 inches instead
of the required 13 inches.
I had thought my gauge was
correct, but upon closer
inspection I messed that
up too. I sent my husband
to the LYS while he was
in town for a set of
larger needles [they carry
Hiya-Hiya] so before
this cardigan is complete
I will have a good idea of
what needles I like. I have
finished rewinding all
my yarn and later on today
will cast on once again.
I love this yarn and the
look of the cardigan
so I am not giving
up. Even if the temperature
is 100 degrees by the time
I finally cast off I am going
to wear this cardigan and
I promise to show a
photo to prove it!

I am still reading Coop,
but it's usually late at
night so it's going a
little slower than usual.

What have you been
up to this week?
