Yarn Along

joining Ginny of Small Things

Good Morning! 

We are all up nice and early this morning to see James off to work. So, this post goes up early today! If the shoreline lace shawl doesn't look any different that's because I didn't make any progress this week. I had been knitting along happily and then the other night it occurred to me that something was wrong with the pattern. Oh yes, I missed a row and had an incorrect amount of stitches on the needle. So- yesterday afternoon, I found a quiet place and began undoing all my hard work until I found the missed row. I was feeling a little defeated but I realized that life is like knitting, sometimes you have to go back and redo something because it wasn't done right. There will be a little hiccup in the shawl but it doesn't matter because it will be for my use only. As a result, my ballet bag for E has been on the sidelines but I made a little progress this week. It does look nice and I think it will be the perfect size for her. 

I am reading a new book by Adriana Trigiani entitled Big Stone Gap. It is pretty good so far and I wanted something light to read. I am also looking through a book I bought the other day entitled, The Children's Year. It is amazing and filled with a million ideas and activities for the family. I can't wait to try a few things with the girls. 

That's all for now...Happy Knitting!
