Yarn Along








Continuing on the secret knitting.  I keep looking for larger bowls each week to place it in:))). I have
2 1/2 skeins left and then I will bind off.  In other words I'm  knitting until I run out of yarn!

I finally found a book that captures my attention and I couldn't put it down. Isn't that the way it goes? I finished it in 3 days.  The Pink Suit is full of wonderful sewing references and also Catholicism.  I didn't know that when I checked it out.  The the main character works for a famous design house that sews for the First Lady, Jaqueline Kennedy.  Now you know where I am going?  The pink suit is obviously the suit she was wearing when the president was shot and the story takes you through its construction and the life of this young woman.  Fictional, it is close to detail of the events, and since I live in the DFW area this part of history is close to my heart.

Offering up prayers on this Ash Wednesday for those suffering from the intense cold and snow!

Linking up with Ginny!!!

  5. No wonder you couldn't put it down! That day is etched in my memory even though I was less than a month old at the time -- my mom told me the story so many times throughout my childhood of how she was warming my bottle when the news came over the radio... :(
    So glad you aren't freezing! We have had mild springlike weather for the past week here in the Pacific NW, and I almost feel guilty.
