Wednesdays have become such a satisfying day for me. I look forward each week to not only posting my knitting and reading progress, but seeing what so many others are doing as well. It is also the morning that I spend with lovely ladies at Bible Study and fuels me for another week.
My Wrapped in Leaves Shawl is complete. Such a wonderful knit. Of course Mad Tosh yarn is divine so all the better!
The colorway is Chicory. Subtle shades of turquoise, grays and browns. Stunning combinations. I plan on wearing this next weekend when we do our annual family picture.
I finally had a chance to make a trip to the library today and came away with this.
Ambitious I am, but now that the temps are cooler, I see myself hibernating just a little more. Resting on top of this stack is a UFO from last year. Almost the first sock finished, this is Medallion Lace Socks in Heritage Paints Silk.
My sock drawer is lacking red, so I am anxious to add this to the stack!
As always, thank you Ginny for the opportunity to share!
oh, wanda---that shawl is GORGEOUS!!! (You know i'm into those botanicals right now!!!!...love it!) Hope all those books aren't due on the same date!!! I've read the Peter mayle one....it's a goodie....and I always love Lisa Scottoline...but the others are all new to me. Will be anxious to hear a review!!! (so glad you're participating in sock-tober, too!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Steph! I love everything in Botanical Knits. I have the ebook on my iPad. When I sat down last night to work on the sock I realized I only had the toe to do. How quickly these will go!
DeleteThat shawl is absolutely beautiful. The leaves make it so special. I also like the lace pattern on the sock. I have yet to try knitting lace on a sock. Looks like you have a lot of reading ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteYou are always so sweet!
DeleteThat is a lovely shawl in a truly wonderful color, and you've got quite a pile of interesting-looking books there! I'm off to take a look at the pattern and add some of those books to my list; thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to be able to inspire!
DeleteWow - what a beautiful shawl. I have heard such great things about Madtosh. Must get me some!
ReplyDeleteMad Tosh's store is here in my city!
DeleteLOVE the shawl...the pattern and the yarn. Just gorgeous! Your socks in red are pretty, too. :)

DeleteWhat a beautiful shawl. I like your reading selections also. I have read Beverley Lewis and Lisa Scottoline, but many of the other authors you have chosen are on my "to read" list.
ReplyDeleteI pulled most of them in a hurry, so we will see!
DeleteBeautiful shawl, what a great colorway! Love your stack of books! Happy Knitting and Reading! :)

ReplyDeleteThe shawl is stunning!! Such a beautiful pattern and the yarn, oh my... :-) Love the sock pattern as well!
ReplyDeleteYour shawl if fabulous!! I'm a sock lover too. I have some cotton socks on the needle at the moment. Your book stack is super impressive. I will have to look them up!! I love Wednesdays, seeing what everyone is knitting and reading, it is so much fun! Glad you are a fellow Texan!!
