Knitting and Reading


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?

  3. I have been wanting to read Barbara's latest book and will now have to check and see if my library has a copy.

    Beautiful yarn you are using, do you mind sharing what stitch that is you are making with it? It is such a lovely looking pattern.

    1. Hi Tracey,
      It is just a simple basketweave pattern.
      Warmly,

  4. 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.

  6. You 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.

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

    Have a wonderful weekend,
    Blessings,
