Yarn Along

Apparently I'm going through one of those knitting periods where I cast on many things and flip-flop between them making no real headway toward finishing anything. I'm still plugging along on the socks I started last week, my sweater from weeks ago just sits in the basket, and now I've started a scarf (a gift for Christmas, so at least I'll be ahead there!)


I'm still reading A Knitter's Home Companion and enjoying it very much. It's a very soothing read for me at the end of the day. And as a bonus, I've been poring over blanket patterns to make a blanket for Finn for Christmas, and I've found one I really like in this book!


What is currently on your needles and nightstand?

  2. The sock looks wonderful and the blue in the scarf is lovely. I have just finished my Shalom that has taken me months to finish, it also lay in my knitting basket, waiting for me to continue knitting it.

  4. The scarf sitting in your basket is a beautiful color as well as this blue one! Very interesting pattern to that. I've been enjoying that book as well and may have to actually purchase a copy of it since everytime I get it from my library, someone else wants it, and it needs to be returned!

  7. Your colors Rock...as always! I want to knit the whirlpool shawl nd I want to try a few colors and I am terrified about not buying the right color combo. Especially because all my yarn must be bought via the Internet right now. Going o a real store is not in my immediate future. I wish I had your color sense.

  8. I just spread a throw I knit across the foot of my bed the other day that is that exact shade of blue. So of course I like yours! You can see mine from last year's Yarn Along here - http://jenletts.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/yarn-along-epic/

  10. Good for you getting some Christmas knitting done! I am thinking that one of the pairs of socks I am working on will be put away for a Christmas gift too.
