AUTUMN IN SPRING YARN ALONG




The naked earth is warm with Spring,
And with green grass and bursting trees
Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,
And quivers in the sunny breeze.
~Julian Grenfell












I have made a little progress
on my Marsh Grass and a
lot of progress on my second
Leaves of Grass.  It's a wonderful
pattern, easy to follow and
I can't wait to block it and
really see how it really looks.

While once again browsing
Ravelry, because I may have
a slight problem, I came
across another pattern,
Holey Square Scarf, and
it's free! I had a dentist
appointment in town
and since I was already
there, I made a quick
stop at my LYS and picked
up a few skeins of yarn
to knit one too. I think
it will make a nice Christmas
gift for someone.

I am still slowly make my
way though Freedom, but
to be honest I am on the
lookout for something that
is a bit more gripping, this
book is really kind of boring.

I want to wish my soul mate,
Mike a happy 50th birthday!
I can't believe we have been
together since we were 16.
I love you sweetie!

Joining Ginny and all the
Yarn Alongers for another
awesome Wednesday.

  14. Happiest of birthdays to Mike! And another LoG - fantastic. I do really like mine. I can see making a lighter weight version in the future. I totally agree of Freedom. It was a struggle in the middle to stick to it. Not sure I would again.
