At Purl SoHo ~ a fun Yarn Along :)

My blanket has little progress
as I did not go to my far away church
which meant my 2 + hours of knitting did not happen...
Last week was super busy with things,
including dinner party prep and not a lot of knitting time... 


But some progress has been made...
see top of the section on the right of these pictures...


Cleo is clearly quite interested in this blanket :)
So today, Tuesday, I went for the first time to 
It was fun! 
I had brought my knitting to NYC 
and took a picture of Wanda's wonderful bag
with me for a photo shoot at Purl Soho :)


Tada! 
Inside the bag are three projects, which explains why it is so
bulky... I really need to get another one :)
It was super fun to be at Purl Soho and Instagram with friends
about being there :)


The store is really cute and has tons of craft ideas
for knitting and sewing!

I looked briefly at this sewing book:


Looks super fun!  As do the other books...
Other than reading a bit of this book,
I am slowly working on Willa Cather's Song of the Lark 
but other than this, just trying to keep up with my
Wednesday is St. George day (Julian Calendar) and I LOVE 
Saint George!!
So that's fun!

Speaking of fun, I got this set of fabric fat quarters for 
a future DV quilt for my godson...
I figured he needs one too :)


I am hoping to get some 'boyish' print fabric later on
to go with these solids...


But I think that this fabric will be a great start for
the quilt top!

Hopefully next week I will have a bit more time
for sewing and knitting!
Last week my creativity was all spent in 
making a great dinner last Sunday
but I am looking forward to more quiet crafting soon!

So what are you reading and creating?
Yarn Along with us!
