Once again I am joining in with Ginny with Yarn Along this week.
I am crocheting a beret after dear Adrienne sent me a pattern to do this. I am making it for Vellvin in this lovely soft pink wool that I just love.
I am also attempting to sew up the knitted lamb I knitted for Trahaearn a while ago. I must admit the instructions for knitting up are a little hard for me to interpret, hence my ending up with a two legged lamb to start with and my having to un-sew it and start it again. The book I use for this is Toymaking with Children
I am continuing to read in bits and pieces the books still from last week's Yarn Along.
However I am starting The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosmary Sutcliffe. I have read this before many years ago and we as a whole family love the series of these books BUT as we are eagerly awaiting the release of The Eagle on DVD and I am just giving myself a reminder of the plot.
So once again I hope you enjoy seeing what we are creating in our home and visit the other interesting Yarn Along entries.
Blessings to you and your homes,
I feel the same way about knitting...the instructions take a bit of getting used to. Crochet is a bit more understandable :-)
ReplyDeleteThe soft wool feels so nice running through your fingers...

Toymaking With Children looks like a very good reference! I also sometimes struggle with knitting patterns...I usually have to just dive in and they end up making sense. :)
ReplyDeleteI am seeing a lot of pretty pink yarn today!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the mention of The Eagle of the Ninth. We are near finishing The Bronze Bow, and I really wanted another novel of Rome to come next. This one seems perfect!
I hope you and your new baby son are doing well...I am a little envious of all the blog mommies with new wee ones!
Very nice! I can't wait to see it when it's finished! =)
