Yarn Along

{~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well.}
I'm Joining Ginny today for another lovely "Yarn Along"!
Since last week I have finished up the little cabled cardigan and beanie and added a matching bootee and {a half} to the set!

Maybe next week there will be some oatmeal mittens too! Mmm what else can I knit in oatmeal I wonder? I have two 100 gram skiens left! A thinking cap maybe :)

As for reading materiel, my eldest girl emmy and I are reading "The Silver Skates" a lovely, classically written, Wintery tale. Perfect for these crisp, sparkling, blustery days.

    Oh your little sweater and bootie set turned out so pretty. I just love the cable work on the front. I have yet to try that and I always love seeing it :)

    Beautiful set! And the shot inside the book is great!

    Also, I love the Frost quote - I've been thinking about it since I visited here last week and, as it seems to go, I've heard it mentioned randomly so many places this past week - so I have thought of you!

    Just beautiful! I love the color and the pattern. I think a little hat or mitten would be a wonderful addition.

    The Silver Skates, haven't thought of that book since my own childhood. Thanks for reminding me of it.

    Blessings, Elizabeth
