Yarn Along



~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? 












The Ka'ana Shawlette is progressing well and I love the Lorna's Laces yarn.  A soft and squishy worsted weight.  But the Mad Tosh yarn was sitting in the basket next to my knitting chair and I just couldn't resist any longer.  I cast on the Garden Cardigan and haven't looked back.  I'm really not sure which one will be completed first.  But alas, it doesn't matter.  Process right, not product?

The knit shop in Dallas that has been ordering my bags just placed another order for 20 bags!  My own knit shop sold out today and needs more and 4 custom orders came in today, 2 of whom were in response to yesterday's post.  I couldn't be happier!

And why?  If you read here you will know that our youngest daughter became engaged over the weekend!  We are very happy and the wedding is now being planned for next fall.  Time to take it slow and make good decisions and time to add more funds to the pot!  ( buy bags..buy bags.....buy bags....:))))) This, however, is not our first rodeo.  She is the third of the four girls to marry so a lot of decisions will be easy ones.

My reading has turned to one of my favorite authors.  So far this is not disappointing.

The holiday weekend is approaching and Mr. Golfer and I are traveling back to my hometown for my 40th high school reunion.  I'm a little nervous and anxious.  I'm sure you will be reading about it next week!

Have a lovely Labor Day and as always linking with Ginny.
