My Yarn Along isn't overly exciting this week. I'm reading the same book, and thoroughly enjoying it, by the way, and mostly knitting the same old stuff. I did start Elizabeth's stocking hat this week. (The kids each get a hand-knit hat in their stockings each year, and I usually start them super early so if they happen to see me working on it, they forget by Christmas.) I'm making a Habitat hat for her using a Malabrigo Worsted in Bobby Blue that I've had earmarked for her for a while.
I'm almost finished with the scarf I've been working on. One more night of knitting, and I hope to be finished with this one. (also a Christmas present...shhhh!)
Joining Ginny in the knitting and reading fun...
That blue is so divine Joy!

Gorgeous blue yarn!!! I knit a pair of socks for my husband for Christmas in front of him....he never asked who it was for!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Radical Homemakers too, and really enjoying it so far!
ReplyDeleteThat scarf is really nice. I like the blue color and the shape of the scarf.
ReplyDeleteI love the blues! I knit my daughter a hat for St. Nicholas' day each year (well for the 2 she's been here!). Last year I started it on December 2nd. I KNOW I want to do this each year....making it NOW would be the smart thing! :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you I still love that scarf - the pattern and color! Like your new header too - very fresh and springy. What is the name of the flowering bush/tree?
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know the name of the flowering tree. The picture was taking inside the Aviary at our zoo. I looked on their plant list but didn't see it so I have no idea what it is!
DeleteI like the idea of a Stocking Hat! I think I am going to knit up some slippers this year to go with there Christmas Eve PJ's they get.

I love that you are working on Christmas stuff now :-) It is something I have been thinking about starting as well. I loved Radical Homemakers. I am part of a facebook book club that just started discussing it, it is fascinating to see everyone's different points of view
ReplyDeleteI'm actually one of the moderators of that group so thanks for the plug! I should have mentioned it again in my post, but I don't want to keep pushing it during every Yarn Along. :)

Love the blue yarn! The scarf is really turning out lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely blues for your projects. Have been looking out for that book for a while, it's definitely creeping up my to read list.

Oh I love your scarf pattern - so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf pattern and I love the colors you are using. You are one smart cookie to start now. I always think I have more time than I do in reality-Knitting Fantasy Island I call it.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks gorgeous. I'm sure it will be gladly received. How organized are you, making a start on your Christmas list.
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous scarf! I am impressed that you are thinking to Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
