Yarn-along: of cozy shawls and cozy books
Good morning!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a yarn-along post … mostly cuz I’ve been uber busy (not even sure what happened to April and May) and not knitting so much.
BUT … now I’m back.
I was working on a lovely shawl/poncho in Schaeffer Anne … but kept having to visit the frog-pond (ripp-it ripp-it) so set it aside. Now, I’ve started on a fun, heavy worsted wool/acrylic blend that is in a great colorway (pinks and purples and just cool). I got this yarn in a swap and really like it. It’s fluffy so it won’t be a heavy shawl. This will be a shawl for fall … and it’s knitting up like a dream (so I guess I’ve gotten my knitting-mojo back, at least somewhat!).
On the reading front, I’m devouring Agatha Christie’s short stories … The Complete Miss Marple Collection AND The Complete Hercule Poirot Short Stories … such fun reading.
So what are y’all working on … any good summer reads you’ve found?
I love the yarn AND the pattern. It looks like it can be memorized after a few rows but still very interesting. Glad the mojo is back! That always feels good 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing finished poncho. I haven’t knitted one in worsted weight yet!
What pretty yarn. I’m so glad you found your knitting mojo again.
Love the yarn for your new project! The color is wonderful!
Sometimes yarn just has a mind of its own and refuses to play nice!
Love the new shawl project. A perfect combination for fall.
I love the colours in the yarn you’re using, so pretty!
Just beautiful colors in your yarn!
