YARN ALONG

Happiness is like a butterfly
the more you chase it
the more it will elude you
But if you turn your attention
to other things
it will come and sit
softly on your shoulder.

Over the weekend I had the overwhelming

desire to cast on a new project and really

wanted to knit something to go with a pair

of boots. I went digging in my stash and

pulled out some Rowan Tweed in avocado.

 

Using size 4 needles I cast on 60 stitches,

knit 2, purled 2 for four rounds then knit

each round until it measured 10 inches. 

I then knit 2, purled 2 for a ribbing 2.5 inches

and loosely bound off. I found some thin

cotton string and did a little picot edging,

crocheting in each knit stitch for 3 stitches,

chaining 3, all the way around. I really like

how it turned out and am already knitting

away on it's matching friend.



I finished reading What Alice Forgot which
was hard; the story line became very depressing
and it just went on and on...I just wanted it
over!

I picked up an old favorite to read now until
something else peaks my interest.
