The Cabbage Patch

Yarn Along ~ February 9

Pink leg warmers for my oldest ballerina.  One leg done, one on the needles.  Blue hat for the church secretary's coming grandson.  A Nook with no battery charge not pictured.  

It's freezing cold here.  The children are in pjs and don't plan on changing out of them.  Everything has been cancelled today because the roads are slick.  It would be much better if Ben were off work as well.  

Go visit Ginny and see what everyone is up to.  I always find new projects I want to start and new books I want to read.

Yarn Along ~ Back in the Saddle Edition

I'm working on leg warmers for my ballerinas.  I'm using 9 inch circulars instead of dpns because the thought of knitting stockinette stitch on dpns for many, many inches was too much for me to contemplate.  It's going well.  I needed to finish a few other projects before I could really work on this.  I've only got about 6 inches knit on right now.  I'm using Cascade 220 Superwash in pink (number 894).

I've only just started the book.  I inherited the Nook from Erin.  I pray for Erin as often as possible but most especially when I have the Nook in my hands.  

Check out more book and project ideas at Ginny.

Yarn Along ~ III

 

I'm on hat number 5.  I'm using Wool-Ease this time.  I'm not sure I like how it knits up in this fiber.  I need to try 100% wool next.  It's definitely not a cold weather, keep the wind out of my hair hat but works well as a cute as a button hat.  

This last one is almost done.  I'm decreasing.  I'm sure I'll finish while waiting for Brother to get out of Speech and OT.  I'll cast on another one as well.  I also made a scarf using my friend's variation of the feather and fan.  

These are some of the books I'm perusing.  Not much serious reading going on here with Nutcracker sewing and Christmas knitting going on.  

Join Ginny on her Yarn Along.

Yarn Along

Ginny over at Small Things is having a Yarn Along.  Basically you share your knitting project and a book you are reading.  I usually have a couple of books going on at once.  I'm reading the 4th Warrior book, Rising Storm and my secret indulgence, popular fiction.  My current read is on my iPhone on the Kindle app.

I'm knitting another hat.  An online friend asked for one for her daughter.  I hope the colors work
