A BLUEBERRY YARN ALONG

"She's wearing this backpack with
 yarn coming out of it, so she can
 knit while she's standing. And
 she's just knitting and looking at
 everything."

~Where'd You Go Bernadette?
   by Maria Semple

First I want to say thank you for
all the prayers being said for my
son -in-love, John. I passed all the
comments to my daughter, Erin,
so she can tell him. It really means
so much to these young men and
women who are overseas to know
they are being thought of and
remembered.

Knitting this week has been very
soothing. I made my first ever
gauge swatch and actually got the
right gauge so I  immediately cast
on Tiny Tea Leaves to give to
Emerson [my favorite person in
the whole world] for Easter. I have
completed the yoke, which requires
a lot of needle size changing [oy]
and am now on the body. Easter
is so early this year so I am trying
to make sure I finish in time and
I am hoping it's cold enough to
actually wear a sweater.  As you
can see in the photos my blueberry
bushes are already loading with
blooms so I need it cold, but not
so cold that it destroys my chances
of fruit, that has happened in the
past and it was painful.

I forgot to bring my book outside
with me, but I am reading
Where'd You Go Bernadette?
and I love it! Amazon has quite
a list of reviews so I won't bother
to repeat them, but I do want to
tell you I have laughed so hard
that I nearly had tea come out
my nose. Oh, and Bernadette is
a knitter which makes me love
her all the more.
Now, I am just keeping my
fingers crossed that the ending
is a good as the first half of
the book.

Joining with Ginny.
