For this week's Yarn Along, I'm working on the same hat that I started a couple of weeks ago. I haven't worked on it much on the weekends at all, what with all that canning, but I have chipped away at it here and there during the week. It's probably the slowest hat I've ever knit since I have to pay so much attention to the pattern. Every single row is different! For those who are curious, the pattern is Habitat, being knit in Bobby Blue Malabrigo Worsted.
I also recently started reading Little House in the Suburbs. Such an inspiring, and at the same time daunting, read! I hope to put one (or more) of the chapters on chickens, goats, or bees into practice at some point, but for now, the chapters on gardening, canning, soap- and detergent-making, and handmade gifts are inspiring on the smaller scale.
Your hat is very pretty Joy.
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in the book you are reading and will have to order a copy.
Have a great yarn along day.
Your hat is beautiful! And the book looks fascinating - I'm going to add it to my list (which is growing rapidly since making my way around the Yarn Along posts!).
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you are already canning! Your hat is gorgeous. That book sounds very interesting. I have never heard of it. Onto my list it goes. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat cabling is just beautiful. I love the colour too!
ReplyDeleteThat color is divine my dear!
