Knitting while traveling to and fro

Still working on my 

baby squares blanket!

As I have written before, I knit

while driving to church...

so thought I would show two pictures I took

this weekend of the evening vigil service

on Saturday.

We are all going towards the Cross right now

but I listened to a homily yesterday that 

was so encouraging,

that Christ's glory is streaming from the Cross,

that we can be strengthened in our difficulties... 

I love this spot with St. Nicholas' icon...

and it is wonderful to have such a beautiful church 

to drive to while knitting...

So here's more pictures of how this blanket is going:

I did various blue squares...

still have to weave in the ends...

  Wanted to show you a snapshot of the wonderful

bag I am now using to keep this project in!

I won this wonderful bag 

from Wanda's Reinventing Mother's new endeavour:

These bags are gorgeous, durable, lightweight and seriously

a cinch to use!

I was not surprised in the least that Wanda is selling these bags,

called drawstrings, 

at her newly opened Etsy store,

CinchIt and through her blog...

I am so excited for her!

She is offering the knitting world (and beyond) a wonderful

set of bags that are not only beautiful but work really well!

The bags I used before for knitting did not close at all and 

I was always worried about losing things.

Now I just put my beloved 

blanket squares in the bag, 

and Cinch it!

Perfect for knitting, quick stowing, a real

grab and go!

Cinch it closed and I am off... :)

Keeping it simple is one of my knitting goals and 

having my yarn, the squares and scissors in 

this bag is a real delight!

And since it is a cloth bag,

I just put it in my much used red purse and I am good to go!

And, as you can see from the pile above,

I am slowly accruing more knitted squares for this blanket!

So reading...

I am on a real Madeline L'Engle re-reading kick right now.

I think my favourite book of her's, at least of her YA fiction,

is her book, the Young Unicorns.

NYC, mystery, beauty, music and 

really good writing.

I am loving it all over again.

So tell me,

what are you reading and creating?
