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? 

Wow!  That was a lot of photos.  Is this what happens when there is rocket fuel in your needles?  Because yet again I have completed a shawl in 10 days!  Ten days folks!  No idea.  The pink ( and yes there is a little glitch in the front...must have been when I refueled :))  is the Arroyo shawl.  Knit in worsted weight it will go quickly.  It has a little purple tint to it.  Not a true ballet pink, but close.

I have moved on to the Ka'ana shawl.  Another worsted weight that will be finished soon.  I am planning on having both of these with me as we travel far north in Sept.  It will cool/cold in Montana/Idaho at that point. The yellow yarn is Lorna Laces Merino and it is so fabulous!  Squishy!  Don't you love squishy yarn?

If you have not read any of the Monica Ferris books I highly recommend.  They are quick, easy reads with predictable plots, but all contain knitting and needlework.  There must be 8 or 9 and I have read them all.  This one was a long wait though.  It has been a couple of years since the last one.  And Anne Rivers Siddons is one of my all time favorite fiction writers and this one has been a long wait as well.  Both came from the library last week.

If you also are a Jan Karon fan ( Mitford Series ) her new release is due Sept 2.  I have already pre-ordered!!!

The yarn shop that ordered all those bags 3 weeks ago just ordered 10 more!  I may need to take my machine in for service....I think it is running on rocket fuel as well. :))
