Knitting and Reading this Past Week














Using up yarn from my stash I free handed some new hats for myself and Emmy.  My knit winter hat is well worn and Emmy's wool bonnet is just a bit to warm for these early spring days.

Also I finished the baby bonnet from last week - knit with so soft baby alpaca.

The blanket is progressing.  I have started a new color - indigo smoke (from Peace Fleece).  This color I am knitting in a 4 x 4 ribbing.

Reading this week includes a book for Bible study, a read aloud, and something for inspiration.

Joining in with Ginny and so many others today.

  12. Waned to thank you for two things: the bonnet you knit for us, which is identical to the one in this post; and reminding me to knit some more on my blanket, which is just three yarns knitted together to make a tweedy-looking heavy throw. Soon it'll be too warm to work on it!
