Yarn Along

Joining Ginny of Small Things

Hello! I've finished one baby bootie in this sweet soft pink yarn and I am working on bootie number 2 that I should finish tonight. I bought some little pearl buttons for them and then it is time to be boxed up and shipped off to China! ( If you're reading this Andrea, then surprise!) They are really very cute little slippers for baby and they make me want to knit more of them. I don't know why I never knitted pairs for my girls but the next baby in this house will be outfitted in several pairs. I am still chugging along on the shawl. I almost thought about quitting it because I just got tired of it but I am renewed so back to it I go. It needs to measure 64' inches long and that is a lot of knitting! The ballet bag is almost finished too. So, I am actively seeking out new projects. It's weird how knitting has become my little obsession. 

.I finished my book, Big Stone Gap. It was quite good and I think I will have to pick up another one of her books next time I'm at the library. I always have to take a few days break before starting a new book so I can digest the old one. So, I am filling my time with a "new" knitting book.  Weekend Knitting: 50 Unique Projects and Ideas by Melanie Falick. Everything is cute! I also found this magazine, Jane Austen Knits and I could hardly believe my eyes. Two of my favorite things: knitting and Austen. I love it! 

Happy Knitting!
