Yarn Along at the Inlet

I headed down to the Manasquan Inlet last night with two of my boys. There is a tropical storm brewing out in the ocean which brings out the surfers. Lots of great waves, people watching and surf. I got in some more knitting on my Golden Child shawl while Chase and Garrett played on the rocks.

This knit is very easy but the rows are getting longer and garter stitch in sock yarn is well, ya know...slow. 

I'm still reading The Lake House by Kate Morton. I'm almost done and although it was a bit wordy and long, it's worth the read. I really like it. You have to pay attention though! Clues pop in out of the blue while you read.

Joining in with Ginny for the Yarn Along. What are you reading and knitting?

Yarn Along • Last one of 2014

It's New Years !!!!!! My favorite two days of the year. We have a tradition that now goes back 70 years. We celebrate with my mom's side of the family...distant relatives that we don't always get to see get together on New Years Eve and then gather together for breakfast day on New Years Day and we go until dinner. Games, food, laughing, pots and pans, silver bells, etc. It's all good fun and I can't wait! 

Before we ring in 2015 I thought I would share some knitting and recent pics from the past few days.

The weather has been getting colder by the day, but we have tried to get outside as much as we can.

I took Garrett and Chase up to Belmar beach late afternoon and they had some fun running around while I knitted a few rows of my sweater.

I'm wearing my Bray Cap in the photo above.

A few of us got together last night for knitting night. It had been way too long, so we through together a very casual (it's always casual) last minute get together.

We met up at Liz's house and had fun.

Quinn did some yoga party tricks for us.

Tara cleaned out closets and brought her old beauty supplies that she didn't want anymore. 

We all gave them new homes.

And my knitting....

This is the Barn Sweater by Carrie Bostick Hoge

I am knitting it with Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in Fossil colorway.

I prefer the look of the traditional stockinette stitch (it calls for the reverse sts). So I'm switching it inside out. I am sooo happy knitting an easy no fuss cardigan. I started on Christmas Day and haven't stopped.

Wishing everyone a very happy 2015!!!!!!
See you all soon! Happy Knitting.
