Using Peace Fleece in Blue Jay, I have started another vest using size 11 needles. The vest should fit a toddler when finished.
I am about 2/3 of the way through Coop - A Family, a Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg, by Michael Perry. Quoted from the back cover, "Living in a ramshackle Wisconsin farmhouse - faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields, and informed by his pregnant wife that she intends to deliver their baby at home - "
I have enjoyed the light entertaining reading and simple reflections on life that are weaved throughout.
Warm wishes, Tonya
That blue is gorgeous, and I love the sound of that book! Happy Yarn Along!
ReplyDeleteThat book sounds great, like they have a wonderful sense of humor about their decisions. :) Your vests are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat book looks really good. I love to read those kind of books. About farming and country life. I wish I could knit. I have a grandbaby on the way, so I think I should give it a try soon. I would love to be able to knit a baby hat or maybe a pair of booties.
