{Yarn Along}


I'm in a blissful state of new knitting projects right now. I think I cast on for four new projects this week! No deadlines, no secrecy, just yummy yarn and a cold (which is the perfect cover for extra knitting time!), and a nice man who keeps bringing me tea. {It's so, so, SO, good to have him home! I'm ignoring the part about being half done with this leave time...} Miss Jenny is working on knitting project number 2 ~a dolly scarf. She wanted to know what was the next thing to learn about knitting, so with a little coaching we are practicing purling! Does anyone know of a good rhyme for learning the process? I did pair down the following photos, believe it or not! Proud-mama-itis for certain...

I'm joining up with Ginny for the {Yarn Along} today. I don't have a picture of it, but my dear friend sent me a copy of "On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" for Christmas and I'm a few chapters in. She has excellent taste in books so I know I'll like it! What are you making these days?

  8. That's great. My two year old LOVES it when I knit. She keeps exclaiming, "Yarn. Needles." I look forward to teaching her someday.
