Knitting and Reading


I am starting the final color of my blanket - a deep purple, Porterfield Plum, from Peace Fleece.  Hoping to get it done while the weather is still cool.

I borrowed this book from the library and am really enjoying it - short essays from quilters- some nostalgic and some funny but all make me want to learn more about quilting and do it.

Joining in with Ginny today and looking forward to finding out what you are knitting and reading.

Warm wishes,
Tonya

  3. Your colors are beautiful on your blanket. And if it's as cool for you this week as it is for us, then it's the perfect project to be working on!

    I'm struggling along with my second knit project (well, third really, if you count the scraf!) Determined to keep at it, though.
