Joining Ginny for today's Yarn Along
I'm so glad that another Yarn Along has come around. I really love to see what you are all busy on. It gives me a boost to join in and be a part of this wonderful knitty community.
This week saw the start of two projects. It seems that most of us knitty girls find it just impossible to only ever have one project on the go.
Last week I was patiently (not) waiting for the arrival of this beautiful sock yarn...
Don't you just love those colours? Well this ball of yarn is destined to become an Oaklet Shawl for my sister. I love watching the colour changes as the fabric grows - so pretty.
Out shopping this week, I came across a great bargain. Pure wool for £1.99 a ball, and in just the weight I needed for the Decreasing Rib Capelet I spotted on Ravelry. I plan to make mine a little longer and perhaps try my hand at some crochet flowers to add a bit of flair to it. I was thinking a nice dusty pink might look nice.
Along with my 'Dying in the Wool' book that I'm still busy with, I am reading through (slowly) my Charlotte Mason Homeschool Series. I've been feeling the need to stimulate my brain and to dig a bit deeper into her works. We have been using CM's method for years now but feel that I have hit a bit of a stalemate. Time to learn a bit more!
And that wraps up my Yarn Along post for this week. Now for a cup of coffee and visit to your blogs to see what you are up to this week.
