Yarn Along

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a single photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

Inspired by one of you, I started reading Jane Eyre  this week.  I didn’t really mean to start reading it yet.  I was just going to read a page or so to get a feel for it, but now I can’t stop.  I don’t get much time to read, so this book should last me a good while. 

I believe I have set a record for myself for most projects on the needles at once, but I will only share two today:  another Haiti scarf in Noro Silk Garden, this time for me, and a top down cardigan for Larkspur.  I am planning to knit matching cardigans for both girls using Cestari traditional wool in burgundy heather for next fall.  This first one was meant for Beatrix, but then I realized that I had accidently been following the instructions for Larkspur’s size.  I am hoping it fits her as my gauge is a bit off.  I work on the scarf when I have a quiet moment at night to focus on the lace pattern, and the sweater is perfect for working on during the day while I “do school” with the kids.
