I am knitting for a customer this week - the Modern Baby Bonnet from Vintage Knits for Modern Babies in a baby alpaca - I just love working with baby alpaca - so soft.
So very glad I stuck with this book after a slow start.
Many issues are covered - including social class and climate change - lots to think about.
What are you reading and knitting?
Joining in with Ginny and so many others for today's yarn along.
Love the yarn and pattern for that bonnet!! So natural and yes, vintage!
ReplyDeleteI love Barbara Kingsolver...must check out some of her books!
Here's my yarn-along!

Lovely pattern and colored yarn- love alpaca.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Barbara's latest book and will now have to check and see if my library has a copy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn you are using, do you mind sharing what stitch that is you are making with it? It is such a lovely looking pattern.
Hi Tracey,
DeleteIt is just a simple basketweave pattern.
Warmly,
Tonya
Nice yarn. I saw that book at the library yesterday but since I already grabbed a "new" book, I left it. Glad to hear it's good.
ReplyDeletelove that yarn, looks so cozy. can't wait to see the bonnet all complete
ReplyDeleteOh that yarn looks divine.
ReplyDeleteYou knitting is beautiful. I read two Kingsolver books last summer...liked the first better than the second. I may have to try her new one! Thanks for the recommend.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Tonya,
ReplyDeleteYour baby bonnet is lovely and I'm sure will be so warm in baby alpaca yarn.
Hope your are well, take care,
Warm regards

Your baby bonnet is very pretty. I also love to knit with baby alpaca for the same reason as you do, the beautiful softness.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,
