Yarn Along

Joining Ginny today for a wednesday yarn along...

I've been reading the Fellowship of the Ring and thoroughly enjoying it. There's honestly nothing like a high fantasy adventure story in the summertime.



My knitting has been a bit on the backburner this summer. Too many things to do. I have been crocheting a hexagon blanket and it's such a joy to make. I love using up more of the acrylic bin.

I also started a wrap last weekend that's going to be one of those I'm-so-glad-I-made-this projects. It's Wheaten by Anne Hanson, published in Wool People Vol. 5. I'm using Palette yarn from Knit Picks in the Pennyroyal colourway. It's a soft dove purple/grey. I love it already.

Bit of an August Ramble

this will be a picture heavy post. Sometimes its easier to show you what I've been up to than explain it all with words...

Summer came with a bang here and was hot for a bit...



Then it cooled right down and has been spotty ever since...



Puppies were born and visited...


 a few times...


A farm was visited...





The flower beds are beautiful...






The garden is producing...



The kids are away...


The Summer Stitching Club is almost over...



My knitting has slowed it's just too nice outside but there are socks, a crochet hexagon blanket (I seem to have a thing for hexagons, who doesn't?!)...



a lacy cabled wrap, and some mittens (I really need to finish these)...

There's been more, so much more. But I'll save it for a rainy day...
