Joining Ginny today for another lovely "Yarn Along"!
Well I finished up that "duckling yellow" yarn on two little mittens to go with the bonnet and bootee set. I just have to sew the second one up.
The weather has turned really bitter over the last week or so. This was inspiration enough for me to finally use some lovely rainbow DK yarn Ive had at the bottom of my knitting basket for way to long.
Matilda got a brand new Beret which I knitted up over the weekend.
Now I'm knitting through one for Boo too!
The patterns come from this lovely little book. I've already made up three sets of simple socks, and three boleros from this book. They were both fun, quick and simple to knit as are the berets.
My kind of knitting :)
As for our reading, well we've been revisiting one of our favourites "The Princess and the Goblin".
I have had so much fun reading this book aloud to the girls the story is full of wonderful old fashioned terminology and the characters are so full of life.
Really lovely!! You do very nice work!I should finish that lap afghan!!! I also have a reason to start our new little wee on who is on the way. Found out yesterday he's a boy! So come March I will have 7 grandsons and 4 granddaughters.
