Yarn Along ~ Princeton, New Yarn and Many Projects!

Mr. Husband and I had business in the
the Princeton area on Monday.
So beautiful!


I of course went to the local yarn shop!

Came home with some beautiful yarn!
Washable yarn of wool, nylon and acrylic;
really soft, wonderful colours
(notice that deep blue in at the bottom?)
that I picked for some dear friends
who I hope to make some beautiful
scarves or cowls for! 

I am excited to say that I finally
get how to do stockinette! 

I am still working away at what
I was calling the September School blanket
but now am thinking will be the
St. Nicholas Day blanket! :)
With all the travel I did in August,
and that the blanket was too big to take along,
it is still unfinished but I have done three squares in the last two
weeks (including the above that is almost done)
and hope to be finishing it sometime soon!

My cousin's son is home now!!!
I am making this little hat for him!
Two strands of fisherman's wool... done in a round.

I got this yarn,
 it's a deep burgundy colour,
for the stiller cowl that I hope to be doing this
October in my knitting class!

I am making progress on the elephant,
that is also for my cousin's son.
This one is going to take me a while
but since the little one
God-willing,
will be one next summer,
I have time...

 

I got this book,
Knitting: a Novel
at the Strand bookshop in NYC.
I devoured it this past weekend
and LOVED it.
Beautiful, in depth characters, beauty,
thoughtfulness and hope.
I highly recommend it!
