~ 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! ~
**Also, I am using a different “linky” today just for fun, one that shows thumbnail images for each Yarn Along participant’s link. I’d love your opinion on what you prefer: text links as we have always used in the past, or links that include thumbnail images.

LOVE your Sunday Sweater. It’s in my queue!
I am technically challenged and can’t seem to link up, but here we go:

Adding your book to my list, too 🙂
Kathy says
Fun pictures! How nice! The link-up tool worked well for me, too, so I think it’s a winner.
Grete says
I saw a book on another blog (http://showerofroses.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-daybook-june-4-2013.html) and thought of you. It is called The Saint and his Bees. Have you read it? She has the amazon link on her blog post. Anyway, I love the knitting, as always. Because of these yarn along posts I have been brave enough to try my hand at a bit of knitting beyond a basic scarf!

Ginny, I love your new linky as it is great to see the project you may want to click on. So many times I am overwhelmed by the amount of participants and end up not even choosing anyone’s projects. And I also love your yarn!!!

I’m not linking up today as I had a bit of a fiasco with my sweater. I started it again and gosh darn it, this sweater is going to make me one fine knitter. My only problem now is that when I make an error, I mess up with my backwards knitting. I need to take a class just on correcting mistakes! I do practically know the Sunday Sweater pattern by heart now though and am loving it! Anyway, I do love seeing the pictures so that I know what project a person is posting about. You get so many people linking up, I don’t have time to go through each one, but pictures would help me have a better idea if the project was something I might to make also (obviously everyone’s projects are lovely, but there are so many knitting projects and so little time – not to mention so many books, but so little time…. sigh… it would be nice if knitting and reading time occurred in little time bubbles so they don’t detract from regular time of the day…)
Heather L. says
Every week I admire that yarn you are using!!! I love the new picture linky!
Cathy says
Hi,
Made the link but couldn’t use the picture from my post- what am I doing wrong please? PS Love the colour of your yarn!
Ginny says
Cathy, I’m not sure, but don’t worry about it for now. I am going to try a different picture link up next week that I think will be better than this one!
Cathy says
Hi,
I don’t seem to be able to make the link to my post today- what must I do please?
--anu says
I am eagerly waiting for the larger sunday sweater 🙂
And I am commenting just to say that I really like the thumbnails, I usually don’t click on links but I will go for a tempting yarny image.
Melanie Routhier says
I always love the yarn you have. Such beautiful colours and they always look so soft!
PS. love the new linky!!
Kathi says
I really love the color of Larkspur’s sweater. I can’t wait to see it finished!
Angela says
Really like the addition of the thumbnails. As always, your knitting is beautiful, and choice of yarn just as lovely.
Laura Bray says
I love the thumbnails! I’m a super visual person and this gets me all happy about visiting the other blogs in the hop!
dawn says
I love the thumbnails! And, as everyone before me has said, the sweater really looks lovely. Though, you’ve never knit anything that I don’t love!
Fräulein Rucksack says
Larksspurs sweater turns out so pretty!
It’s a pity not all the linky pictures show yarny things.
Andee says
I LOVE the new link up with thumbnails. I wasn’t going to link up this week, but now I have to. So exciting 🙂
Nancy says
I LOVE the thumbnails also! It’s just so fun to at-a-glance see so many things that people have made!
Debbie in London says
I like the picture links.
That yarn is so pretty!
Sara says
I love the pictures! The yarn for Larkspur’s sweater is gorgeous – I can’t wait to see it finished.
Kymberly says
The Sunday Sweater is looking so beautiful. I love that color. I’m so excited to see thumbnails for the link party. I don’t always have a lot of time to visit everyone so I like getting to see previews of what everyone’s working on. It also makes it a lot easier to remember where I’ve been since I’ll visit the links over several days.
Sylvia - artsy ants says
I agree! some of the reasons i too love linkies with photos!
Jen says
Love the pictures – great idea! And your Sunday Sweater has inspired me to make a couple for my girls.
Joy says
What a neat addition to Yarn Along to see the projects/person! Larkspur’s Sunday Sweater looks fabulous!
Jen M. says
I like seeing the thumbnails since I only have time to visit/read a few posts.
no spring chicken says
The sweater just gets lovelier the bigger it gets. 🙂 I think the new application for the links is fun. I vote yes!
Blessings, Debbie
Katharina says
First of all: the colour of Larkspur’s sweater is really beautiful. And then I kind of like the thumbnail linky tool although it is a titbit more difficult to use plus you really have to be careful with the legth of your name. I shortend mine and yet it was too long and some weird stuff happend to my picture. But then I just so enjoy reading all the posts that I don’t mind at all.
Ginny says
Yes, what it’s doing to the text when it’s on the long side is really bugging me! I like having the picture previews, but I am going to switch to a different linky tool next week and that should solve the problem!
annie says
Such a pretty yarn color! I almost never choose maroon/reds for yarn color, and then when I see yours, I always wonder why!
Elisabeth Andree says
Love Larkspur’s sweater, the yarn is gorgeous! Looking forward to see it finished.
I love Yarn Along, with or without previews!
Sarah says
The Sunday Sweater is just so lovely, it’s really coming along beautifully. 🙂
I really rather like the previews!
Cassidy says
Gorgeous yarn! I’m still knitting on my first sweater. I think I’m in love with sweater making now. 🙂
Jennifer says
I love the sweater!! The color is so pretty. I like the pictures but either way is fine.
Mackenzie says
Oh yes the pictures are fun! I love the yarn you’re using for this one, the colors are so sweet! I’m looking forward to knitting another for Jenny this fall, she has gotten so much use out of her first one. 🙂
Elizabeth says
(read the other comments before me)… it seems that the picture is working now for the links! I really like it! Your sweater looks wonderful! Sounds like it would be a lot of work but the result is beautiful and an even colour! Small knits can be nice too! have a wonderful day ! you make Wednesdays all the brighter by bringing us all here! 🙂
Erin @ Wild Whispers says
I love the pics! It’s great to see the person or project before I click on the link!
Donna says
I hate having to switch skeins of yarn back and forth. It’s really worth the effort in the end though. I am really not sure what I want to read next!
Tracey says
So many things being finished and enjoyed in your world, I’m glad.
I am fine with whatever linky you use although I’m not sure I did it right.
Kathy says
You are so fast, it takes me forever to get that far. It really looks beautiful!
sheila says
Gorgeous yarn color! Thanks for hosting Ginny and get better!
Best,
Sheila

Sarah says
I love the idea of a preview as well, but the picture squares all say pending for me too! Any link you use is fine with me!
That sweater is so beautiful, the drape is just gorgeous and it looks like it must be so soft and smooth. So lovely!
meghann says
I love that sweater! I have it on my list to knit for Julia, once I find the perfect yarn. 🙂
Love the idea of the previews, but all the pictures say “pending” on my screen. xo
Amanda says
I noticed Gretchen’s comment and it made me realize that half the reason I don’t get more done is because I like to look at it so much, once it becomes recognizable. I stitch a little, look a little, stitch a little, strut like a peacock in my imagination because the project is actually coming together! Lark’s sweater is lovely, can’t wait to see the finished project! I like the picture linky, but it won’t load the pictures…
Ginny says
I’m not sure why pictures aren’t loading. I will have to work on this some more….
Amanda says
They are now! I really like the pictures. 🙂
Sarah says
Working for me now too! 🙂
Erin @ Mama in Progress says
The cardigan is so beautiful. I think your Sunday Sweater is going to be my next knit for my daughter. I have so enjoyed watching your current one come together!
Knitty Gritty Homestead says
Beautiful drape to that knitted fabric!
Lisa @ HappyinDoleValley says
Larkspur is going to have one gorgeous sweater; such a pretty colorway!
Pictures aren’t showing on the linky…if they do, it would be fun, but either way is fine with me. 🙂
Blessings, ~Lisa
Hannah@HomeBaked says
Beautiful yarn, Ginny! I’m doing the same thing with alternating for sleeves at the moment and it is a bit tedious.
The linky thumbnails all say Pending on my screen but I love the idea of getting a preview.
Gretchen R says
OK, seriously, that sweater you’re knitting is STUNNING. Do you ever just sit there and the beauty just hits you? It should! I just remembered I had some Madelinetosh Fragrant in my stash too, but it’s laceweight. I really should pick that up again.
Oh, and I love the new picture linkys. Very nice.
karen says
yay for sleeve knitting! That’s the very end of any knitting project 🙂 Whatever linky you use is fine by me, whatever makes life easy and fun. Have a fabulous Wednesday!
Kathleen says
gosh! that is such pretty yarn! It will make a lovely sweater! Happy Knitting!
