Yarn Along

On my trip to Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival this past May, I stumbled upon a little booth. The colors, logo, display and overall feel of the space drew me in. The company was Boho Chic Fiber Co.
I picked up these two skeins in her Wild DK yarn, colors Ocean and Driftwood.

I didn't have a project in mind for the yarn. So when this cowl by Purl Soho popped up the other day on instagram, I thought it would be perfect for my BohoChic yarn.

Casted on and away we go....


(the yarn on the far right is from Sweitzers Fiber Mill, another favorite stop in at MS&W)




I am reading All the Light We Cannot See. It's my son's assigned reading for high school so I thought I would read it too. So far I'm enjoying it. I have a feeling he's going to be bored. Not much action in it for a 14 year boy!!!


Joining Ginny for the weekly Yarn Along. 
What are you reading and knitting? 
Hope you're all enjoying this gorgeous weather we are having today at the Jersey Shore!

  2. You can brioche? I am SO jealous. I have a cowl that's in time out. I'm fine until I get to the end of a round.
    I am one of the few people I know who didn't like that book. I don't see many teen boys liking it, either.

  5. All the Light You Cannot See is the required freshman book at our school! I wasn't that in to it but other people on the committee liked it. I think I've read much better Holocaust books but it is popular. Luckily there are 3 other books to choose from and I love all of them!
