Yarn Along: Madeleine L'Engle, Scarves & Baby Blanket

I am happy with this week's progress!

The unbelievably orange scarf (Ravelry here)
for one of my three munchkins in Ottawa!
They have the cutest soccer outfits from
Holland that are orange
and Mr. Husband thought of me making these
scarves for them!

The saga of the baby blanket continues!
I am making progress!
I am on a blue strand again now...
You can see from this picture that
the beginning of it was a lot smaller
than what it ended up as.
I added a lot of stitches I think in part
because I was trying at the beginning to do stockinette
and not have it curl up
and I just did not have enough experience in doing
it quite yet to get it right.
None the less,
I am happy with it!

As I said before,
it is made with love and creativity
and that in the end is what
matters to me,
especially as I've been knitting for
just over 2 months now...

I have ordered more yarn for it as
I am almost out.
So this one will not get done until
after Pascha...

I started this blue scarf
this past weekend.
It is for a gift for an older niece...

I am finding it hard to capture via camera
the light and brightness of this blue.
It is really lovely and becoming a
quick favourite of mine.

And the on-going green scarf!
It has a ways to go yet
but it is a wonderfully soft but thick yarn
and I think will be exactly as I wish it to be!

I needed a comforting
thoughtful read and this
book by Madeleine L'Engle has been perfect.
She deals with tough issues but with so much
description of her family life
and discussions of how to care for one's self
when caring for others
that is not only enjoyable but
helpful.
I find myself wanting to quote from it to some of my
dearests friends...
