Yarn Along



It seems like ages since I joined in with the Yarn Along link-up. I have had a series of Wednesdays that have kept us busy and away from home, interestingly today we are out and about again, but I just had to make some time to get some knitty news in :o)


I am still busy with the same two projects - DH's Weekend Pullover...


The front is now off the needles and the back on the needles and progressing nicely.

My Stockholm Scarf is just about finished - only inches away from binding off!


 In fact I was very tempted to have it ready for today's post - but life seems to be keeping me busy at the moment so it was not to be. But perhaps next week? I hope so. I can't wait to see what it is going to look and feel like.


Reading - I'm just in-between books at the moment. I finished 'Pocketful of Pinecones' (4th time reading) about two days ago. This reading has really impacted my thoughts about our nature study time in our homeschooling. I posted some thoughts on it here a short while ago.

I'm really not sure what to pick up next to be honest. I usually have a list of books that I want to read, but nothing is standing out for me. I am hoping that today's link-up might bring some inspiration :o)


Joining Ginny today over at Small Things.

  4. I can't wait to see both projects. I've only made little sweaters so big ones seem so overwhelming! I plan to knit one for me this year though. Looks like a great book, we try to get into nature everyday. The kids just don't know they're studying it yet :)

  6. Pocket Full of Pinecones is one of my favorite reads for back-to-school -- so inspiring! I just love Karen A's philosophy of nature study and Mother Culture! My current reads include a book on Christian hospitality that I'm finding rather convicting (shared about it on my YA post today...). Happy knitting! ~Lisa :)

  8. Your scraf is lovely! I often find when I'm trying to get something done the more that comes up that needs to be done first. Thanks for the book rec - I have it on my shelf but have yet to read it.
