Yarn Along
For knitting this week, I finished my shawl and blogged about it here. I am so thrilled with how it turned out. I am still working on my wurm hat it, should be done in a day or two. It is a really easy pattern and it is great to work on while watching TV or talking. I bought a generous amount of yardage so I could have the full slouch effect from the pattern. The yarn on the right is madelinetosh merino light. I am thinking of a triangle shawl but not sure which one as of yet. So today I will enter the endless sea of patterns on Ravelry and stalk the ideas :) Of course, while I am reading everyone's blogs for the Yarn Along!
I have maybe ten pages to go on Rebecca--I know that it has taken me forever to read this book. It will be finished today, promise. I am glad that I've re-read it. I must say that I continue to be a tiny bit disappointed in the heroine's lack of a back bone but it was written generations ago. Maybe women with backbones was not the "in" thing. However, the mystery and the creepy mood of the book is wonderful. You tend to suspect every character in the book-fantastic!

ReplyDeleteLove that wurm pattern. I have it bookmarked on my Ravelry site. The color will look so nice with your dark hair. It is for you, right?

ReplyDeleteYour hat is looking great!
ReplyDeleteLove the wurm!!! (also love the name!) and the madeline tosh--yummy!!! how are you going to choose??? there are so many many shawl patterns out there now--I'm sort of lusting over Carol Sunday's market shawl. (lusting during Lent--not good!!!)

Such fun when you can use every bit of yarn for a project. Much better than falling short! Oh the endless world of Ravelry - have fun there
ReplyDeleteLovely green yarn :) I see you have House at Riverton in your stack, I loved that, a very good read! x
ReplyDeleteooh, i'm thinking of knitting a triangle shawl as well, can't wait to see which one you will choose. i was thinking of the Rae.
ReplyDeletei have such a problem with heroines lacking backbone too. i dislike that a lot in older movies as well.
i read "The forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton a couple of months ago.
That shawl is heavenly, it looks so soft to wear. Also, I love that orangy yarn next to your project.

Your shawl turned out beautifully! The hat will be great. I haven't read Rebecca since high school or college...might have to revisit that one.
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn! I have read both the books you have pictured. They are terrific! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteLove the Wurm. I have it in my que. And your shawl s just beautiful. Thanks for stopping by for a blog visit today.
ReplyDeleteI saw on Ravelry that you're using cosymakes sport--I have a couple of skeins of that tucked away for a future cardigan. :) Can't wait to work with it!
ReplyDeleteYour shawl was gorgeous Karen! I am not sure I commented on it. I love the colour of your Wurm - the pattern looks interesting - will be checking that out! LOVE the House at Riverton; it is a good read.
ReplyDeleteyour hat is looking good! and the m.t. is always yummy, have fun searching out the right pattern!
ReplyDeletemmmmm....madtosh. her yarns are so divine.
ReplyDeleteHat looks delicious! I love that color and that yarn!
ReplyDeleteThat's very much the case with a lot of older books. Jane Austen always seems to infuriate me. Your hat looks cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your hat - I think I need more hats. I will be doing a small shawl for my next project, but it will take me weeks - maybe months to finish. Looks like an interesting read you have lined up. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn and your hat looks neat. I must check out the pattern :) Happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat and the beautiful madelinetosh yarn! Your shawl turned out beautifully too. Don't you just love finishing up and blocking a project like that?
ReplyDeleteHave you read Kate Morton's other two novels? I really enjoyed them, and House at Riverton is up next on my list.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try the mad tosh-methinks I need to do so soon. Your hat looks great. I love you saying "stalk ideas". It's exactly that!
ReplyDeleteLovely colour. I've just read Rebecca too. I kept willing her to actually ask some questions of her new husband! Very frustrating but still a great read.
ReplyDeleteLove that green! Gorgeous yarn!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read anything by Kate Morton...may have to give her a try real soon!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
