Yarn Along: Blue, Song of Lark and Adventure of Ascent

Wow! Wednesday Yarn Along already!

Well, I did not get as far as I hoped on my blanket...

I failed to realize that I did not have a lot of the yarn

in the colour I am doing with me in my knitting bag,

when I was on my long car ride to church... so 

after I used up what I had... I went on and 

finished a wash cloth instead,

which I already gave away to our past Sunday night's

dinner guest ... 

(a post on that meal later I hope!)

But I still did make some progress on the blanket

and I got a new skein of yarn

all ready now to continue!

I am still reading Song of the Lark by Willa Cather

and also 

Adventure of Ascent: Field Notes from a Lifelong Journey 

by Luci Shaw.

Both are absorbing reads and are giving me 

a sense of rest in the midst of a lot of business

that my days amount to...

On another crafting front, 

I have finished the top of a small

checkered green and white pillow that I am making!

It's my first sewing project and I have made up

the pattern myself, of course...

(just like my knitting it seems...)

The double square/long rectangle is where

the one side of the blanket is going to start/end, FYI.

I am loving the sewing I get to do!

I am always amazed at the many crafty folk who do

lots in terms of knitting and sewing;

I am still trying to find a good balance in terms of time for this!

So, what are you creating and crafting?

Yarn Along with us!
