I'm finally joining in for Yarn Along again. I'll show the last of the Project Redecoration photos tomorrow. (Here are the other 2 rooms if you are interested in seeing them.)
This week, I'm working on finishing an Aviatrix hat for a sweet little baby boy of a friend. I've also been reading Where'd You Go, Bernadette? on the recommendation of Dawn of Postcards from Seattle. I like her description of quirky for this book. I'm only about a third through it so far, but it's a fun read. I have a resolution, of sorts, this year to read more adult fiction. If you have a recommendation, I'd love to hear it
I also just finished the Log Cabin socks that I started just before Christmas. (I've never started anything for myself BEFORE Christmas was over.) The pattern is from Handknit Holidays, and they are nice thick, cozy socks. Perfect for this Polar Vortex we're experiencing. ;)
Those socks look so soft and cozy. I'm glad you're enjoying the book. It really starts to come together more towards the second half.
ReplyDeleteI love your handknits! I'm looking for some fiction suggestions as well. I read so much nonfiction, but sometimes it's so nice and refreshing to get lost in someone else's world through a good fictional book.
ReplyDeleteLove the room renovations!!! Someday I would love to dive into my kids spaces and make something wonderful and fun!! That hat pattern is one of the ones Ive been meaning to knit forever too, but for now...it resides in my queue!

I love the Aviatrix pattern; such a great snug hat and a reliable pattern! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteMust read: snow child, orphan train, language of flowers, the orchardist--hope that helps. Love the sweet little baby hat, so wee!!
ReplyDeleteThose socks look great! I've never tried to knit socks yet, but I would like to. The hat looks adorable too.
