I really like the new Peace Fleece colors and thought they would look nice in a striped blanket - almost rainbow colors all in rustic shades - marigold, wild mustard, phoebe, indigo smoke, and porterfield smoke. So far I have used up one skein. This will be something I will do when I need mindless knitting so it will probably take some time to finish.
While browsing the library on Saturday I saw An Irish Country Wedding by Patrick Taylor and knew that I had seen it recommended on some Yarn Along posts in the past.
It is a light fun read - perfect for before falling asleep, plus medicine and healing is an interest of mine.
A friend lent me, Natural Goat Care by Pat Coleby. It has been on my wish list for some time. I am taking notes as I go along.
Looking forward to the sharing today at Ginny's Yarn Along.
It really will be a lovely blanket!
ReplyDeleteYou should go back to the first Patrick Taylor--An Irish Country Doctor. It's much better!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is going to be so cheery! I haven't used Peace Fleece before, but it looks like something I would like.
ReplyDeleteWe have been talking about purchasing a few goats for here so I will have to keep an eye out for that book.
I haven't knit with peace fleece yet but I've heard nothing but good things about it.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when you find things from your wishlist in the library?!
I love all the colors. That sounds like a good book - I keep coming across it too, maybe I'll look for it next time I'm at the library.
ReplyDeletethose colors will look great!
ReplyDeleteOh the Pat Coleby book is one of our favourites! It's a mine of information.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors. Enjoy the books and your knitting time also :)
ReplyDeleteI love those colors!
ReplyDeleteI read the Irish Country Doctor but none of the follow-ups. Glad to hear you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful colours together - I love that purple!
Oh, your blanket is going to look great, such great colours!
ReplyDeleteThose colours are going to make a beautiful blanket. Books sounds fun, is it the sequel to Irish Country Doctor? I read it a while back but don't remember the name of the author.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors! They go together really well. I haven't heard of Peace fleece before. I might have to try them out!
