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 photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

The past ten days have felt awfully long, with a virus slowly moving through our family.  I’ve still managed some knitting, finishing two pairs of little baby socks and casting on for a baby hat.

I’m still reading The Devil’s Advocate, and enjoying it.  This book has a nice pace.  It’s not one I feel I have to read with urgency, demanding to be read in a matter of days.  It’s not slow either.  Just perfect for picking up here and there as I am able.

 

Grab a button for your post or sidebar! Visit the Yarn Along page for additional button colors!

    This is in the oven now and the aroma is overwhelming! I’m making this for my husband’s office meeting, but it’s too early to say if it will make it there in the morning lol!
    I have no doubt it will be perfect!

    I love that Pilot Cap pattern so much. My daughter has been wearing one her entire life. I think I’ve knit six of them…or maybe seven! I think I am going to make a natural-colored one for my next baby too. I am trying desperately to finish a Waldorf doll for my daughter’s 2nd birthday party on Saturday, but I am so looking forward to getting to all that baby knitting!

    those socks even look like they might stay on ! I have nearly finished a top, and since it was knit in the round it doesn’t need sewing up – hurrah !

      I do think they will stay on! I knit the cuffs to three inches, and will roll them over. I think these are nearly perfect baby socks. And yes, hooray for knitting in the round!

    what’s that other book in your pile
    Catholic Christinanity?????

    I might be in need of that book, our Homily this week was about St Peter vs St Paul, very timely for me as I seem to have found myself in one of those situations, maybe that book might be a good read for me

    Those baby socks and pilot hat are adorable. I've always admired the colors and patterns you select.

    I'm adding Devil's Advocate to my reading list. : )

    My first time linking up! You’ve inspired me to learn socks! I lean towards crochet because it is easy and I am comfortable with it. But I read that you said you’d only been knitting “seriously” for some years and I’ve decided I need to commit!

    I wonder what’s caused this sudden interest in Morris West – there’s a local book club who just read “The Shoes of the Fisherman”.

      I don’t know…I randomly selected The Devil’s Advocate after reading through reviews of a bunch of the books in the Loyola Classics series. I think I want to read The Shoes of the Fisherman too!

    I’m amazed that you’ve gotten any knitting done at all, with everyone sick… We’ve all been perfectly healthy (well, Asher and I have allergies, but that doesn’t really count) and I’ve knit three rows this week. I hope everyone is feeling better. xo

    I’ve been looking for a little hat (or rather a large one actually) as my baby has inherited his parents’ genes for an enormous head and he has grown out of all the baby ones we were gifted! Thanks for the link to this pattern, it looks gorgeous (and crucially, seems to cover a range of sizes!)
