Wednesday Yarn Along

Joining in again this week with Ginny over at Small Things...sharing a bit of knitting and reading for the week. I am a girl that works well with a deadline, pressure, short notice...you get the gist. So this little Wednesday yarn along post has become the best thing for me. Not that I need motivation for knitting (seriously, I should put it down every now and then) but it motivates me to organize my thoughts (often difficult these days) and it makes me THINK about what I'm working on. I'm back in the reading groove again too. Ahhhh....nothing like a good book. And I'm so happy to report that I have read two fantastic books in a row! Before I Go to Sleep was soooooo good and I just read Olive Kitteridge this week for Book Club. Loved Olive too. I was sad to have it end.

This week, I just casted on this little hooded sweater in baby alpaca yarn. It will be a gift for a baby that is due very soon. I am reading, When We Were Strangers. It got 5 stars on amazon, so my fingers are crossed that it's another good one.

I finished up the little Fall Vest for Chase. I started it last week and finished it up right away. This is a great little knit and he has already worn it a few times. Love that squishy Spud and Chloe sweater yarn!!! Buttons are from Joann Fabric.

And I just had to share this picture. Yes, it's blurry, but that's Chase waking up from his nap sporting his orange sweater that FINALLY have toggles attached. I love the way he stretches so big when he's waking up...and his arms and his little blanket buddy's arms are in the same position. Funny.

The weather turned here this morning. Dark and chilly with rain. Good day to knit....

Andee has her very own blog now. She got mad at our blog because she was having trouble posting and making comments. So she started one of her own. Hopefully she'll still send me pictures to put on here! She's the knitting machine and makes us look good.
Andee is using the blog to help with her son's speech delay and other kids that may have the same issues. She documents things with her camera and it helps with his speech development. So check her out when you can...http://matchthepictures.blogspot.com/

UPDATE: Andee sent me some pictures. Yippee! Makes me look better :)
She knits at warp speed.
So here's what Andee has to share with us today:

#4- Fiber Art Project
I am working on a project for a competition. It has a bunch of different parts, but here is a sneak peek.
