Yarn along with Baby Slippers and 6 O'Clock Dinner Rolls


My baby slippers are coming along!


I am now at the point where I need
to knit the toe section on both!
I hope to be done by next week if all goes well!
*
Ravelry here.
*
About what I am reading...


I realized that I had not yet made anything
from a really neat small cookbook 
that my Grandma had given me;
it was printed in 1934 and is a real gem!
*
I will have to post more about the cookbook itself
later on!


 I am thinking of making these rolls tomorrow,
for us to enjoy during butter week!
*
{In my Lenten church traditions we fast from 
meat and dairy as health permits
and this week we are done with eating meat
but will enjoy dairy all week!}
*
Back to the cookbook...


It is a neat cookbook also as it was 
made by a church and has
Scripture verses at the bottom of each page!
It's a real treasure! 
*
It is such a joy to be part of the yarn along 
with Ginny!
Do come with us and tell us what you are creating
and reading!

Baby Slippers and Blanket Squares



I am making little baby slippers!
Ravelry here.


This yarn is even more beautiful in colour;
a bright ruby red...
It is being made into squares for a small blanket.


I am making a baby blanket of blue and yellow squares...
my cousin is having a baby boy... :)


I am finally getting around to reading
Mat. Constantina's book
(Some of my Orthodox blog friends have already 
written on this book, here and here).
*
It is an easy read, like the longer Russian book 
Simple stories that teach things gently...
I am finding it encouraging and engaging. 
*
Great Lent is coming soon ~ and I am finding this 
read to be something that is preparing ~ and encouraging ~ 
me for this.
*
I have sock yarn coming in the mail... with
size 1 DPNs... 
I am hoping to start on these
 by the beginning of Lent...
Mr. Husband only wants me to knit him socks,
so socks it will be! 
*
I am using an older pattern from my Oma's 
and am really excited about this.
*
What are you reading and creating?
Yarn along with us!
