Yarn Along

Howdy. It's that time again. Wednesday....knitting day :)

I'm joining in with all the great knitters out there and sharing what

I have been working on and reading.

First of all, speaking of reading.

I FINALLY finished Cutting for Stone. Normally I devour a book and finish it

within a week. But this book lingered and took me a while to get through.

After 2 months of reading I finished it. WOW.

What a book. It will stay with me for a very long time.

So onto what I'm knitting and reading now....

I whipped up this little toddler hat to sell in our farm store.

It's a mix of tan baby alpaca and alpaca sock yarn.

I bought this sock yarn years ago in my favorite yarn store in Saratoga, NY.

I realized after buying it that I love sock yarn when it's in a skein, but not

a fan of the striping once I start knitting. 

 I did realize however that if I knit and add a solid stripe between the rows, I love it.

 

I am also knitting a new Grey Loop.

Great pattern. It has just enough changes to keep me happy.

 

 It has a nice mix of eyelet sections, stockinette and purl sections.

 I started reading The Orchard: A Memoir by Theresa Weir.

So far so good. I needed to read a short book after my marathon book!

Chase says hello :)

Where is my baby going????

Happy knitting!
