Yarn Along

Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading (though not at the same time!), 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 Hitofude cardigan has been cast on. I watched others knit this so I'm hoping for a great outcome!! The orange yarn is the provisional cast on.  I'm enjoying this so far.  It is just a 8 row repeat that is pretty easy to remember.  But I am really not  a fast knitter, so it may be Christmas before you see anything else on the needles!

I made my library trip today and picked up a few fiction and one by Scott Hahn that I haven't read.  Hopefully there will be something that will capture my interest.



As I posted yesterday....Nina Pham, the nurse with Ebola, was a high school classmate of my youngest daughter.  Both went on to become nurses.  Please continue to offer up prayers for Nina and her family.
And if you are a reporter reading this... please don't leave any more messages on my front door requesting an interview :(((

  2. Oh wow..I love how it makes that V shape. I'm slow knitter too, so don't feel bad. I almost feel like apologizing every yarn along post "Still knitting the cowl...""Yup, cowl again..." *weak grin* Praying for Nina.

  3. Your hitofude is looking lovely so far! Scott Hahn is a great author. I actually came across some cassette tapes of him and his wife Kim while cleaning over the weekend. I am praying for Nina. And I agree - the press should just stay away. They were in our office the day after my brother died last month looking for interviews, press releases, etc... so darn rude!

  4. I will continue to pray for Nina; knowing there's a connection makes it all the more real. I hold nurses with the highest regard. Certainly a calling from God of some of the most tender and brave. The cardigan is going to be lovely, I adore the color.

  11. GOD bless her! I know she will pull through. As a nurse , just retired, I have only the most admiration for her and I know she did her very best. They have to get a handle on this ebola ...
    My daughter is an ER nurse and she is worried too.

  13. I'm a slow knitter too! I've been working on my crochet projects lately so that I have something to show for my time. ;-) Love the start of your sweater though! The pattern is very pretty.

    Prayers for Nina.
