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.

Thanks so much for playing along friends!

(**And those of you posting crochet projects, don’t forget to add the word “crochet” next to your name! thanks!)
