Yarn-along: this time it is all about knitting
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~ Ginny at small things
This week, I’ve been steeped in knitting — grading a design for publication, working on those hats I mentioned last week, and working on shop samples for my LYS. Whew … but it is fun …
Here are the hats I designed and knit up this weekend:

Yarn-along: July 17, 2013
Aren’t they fun? The kids love them and I might need to make a few more to satisfy them all …
… and here is my current, “on the needles” project … my Knittin’ Love shawl done here in Plymouth’s Cleo (a DK-weight mercerized cotton).

So what’s on your needles and/or reading table? Wanna come play …
Awesome hats! I love that neon yarn. I spun some like that and it’s so nice to see the brightness during the grey winter months.
So glad you like the hats!
I haven’t gotten into spinning yet … I figure the time I’d spend spinning, I could be knitting! But I am starting to feel the urge to branch out to rigid heddle loom weaving … now that would be fun!
Hugs and happy knitting (and spinning …)

I just love all the bright colors! So cheery:)
I love the color work! The green and yellow hat is my fave. It’s fun to see what patterns or designs one can create with color or lacework! Happy knitting!
Found your site through the yarn along. I love your colorful hats!
Such fun and cheerful hats! And I love the shawl!
The green and yellow is my 10yos favorite! I love how easy it is to change a look completely either thru the colors or moving one st over or whatever. I love colorwork!

So glad you stopped by! The Yarn-along is fun, isn’t it? The hats are most certainly COLOR-ful!
Enjoy!

So glad you like the hats .. and that shawl is a favorite of mine. I did the original in Cascade’s Ultra Pima, but I think I’m liking the look and feel of the Plymouth Cleo even better ….
Enjoy!
