I'm including the books I'm reading with my kids for this week's Yarn Along. My son, like most 2.5 year olds, likes repetition. We've been reading and re-reading the same books over and over and that's ok, but I wanted something different. I introduced him to Where the Wild Things Are this week, one of… Continue reading Yarn Along June 18

Starts and samples
It is Wednesday right? Monday holidays (while wonderful) really throw me off my game. Tuesday felt like Monday, so today doesn't feel like Wednesday. My daughter's school has a half-day for some reason, so her timeline is shifted and I can already hear my son wide awake in his bed (so napping is off as… Continue reading Starts and samples
Wrapping Up August
For this edition of FO Friday, I have two things that were completed to share with you. I'll share the crochet one first. My August Augusta Shawl, in Manos del Uruguay Serena, is finished and that means I have successfully completed Camp Loopy 2013! I am quite impressed with myself that I did it. I… Continue reading Wrapping Up August
Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
We're in the back-to-school-prep-zone this week. Why do I want to start a million new projects (not necessarily knitting or crochet related) when I know there is only so much time in the day? A new school year feels like a fresh start, even if I am not the student anymore. In between party prep,… Continue reading Shawl, Socks and a Dino WIP
Progress
Going for the short and sweet version today. Reading: I finished Me Before You and would totally recommend it. Impulsively I grabbed The Woman Upstairs at the library from the 7-day loan section. It's slow going, mostly because I keep stopping to re-read passages. I really like this main character. Sadly, I'm only 40 pages… Continue reading Progress
A new shawl, new book, new socks
Last week in my WIP Wednesday post, I had just downloaded a new book for the kindle. I haven't even looked at that book once because on Thursday I got the notice from the library that Me Before You was in for me to pick up. I have had trouble putting it down, it's fantastic.… Continue reading A new shawl, new book, new socks
FO Friday: Stripe Study
as I am so very excited that I finished my Stripe Study shawl. The first mini-collage was right after I cast off. This was my second project as part of Camp Loopy with The Loopy Ewe. The pattern is so straight forward and perfect for tv-knitting, if you do that sort of thing. This was… Continue reading FO Friday: Stripe Study
Almost at the End!
I am so close to being in the final stretch of my Stripe Study shawl -colored stripe #12 to go, then on to the last grey section! I even dreamt about this shawl last night, that was a first. Garter stitch is just so soothing. The rows are getting longer, so it feels like it… Continue reading Almost at the End!
WIP & Yarn Along
How are you holding up in the heat? I am thankful to have the air conditioner on, but I do wish it wasn't running full all the time. I hate to sweat, so I'm a bit more crabby lately. Last week (or maybe the week before) I tried a "Homemade Slushee" recipe I found on… Continue reading WIP & Yarn Along
Lots to Share!
I'm very excited to link up with WIP Wednesday & Yarn Along this week, look at that pile! Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, is very good and I am half-way through it. I want to read Gone Girl, but currently the library has it on a 7 day loan status, something I may have been… Continue reading Lots to Share!
