I’m keeping it simple this week for the Yarn Along. Ginny is our hostess, so stop on over her blog if you like for some knitting eye candy, and never disappointing photography.
I’m reading Strawberry Girl with Silje. It’s not what I had expected from this book, but I still like it. I’m reading Stink: Solar System Superhero with David. Out of this world success. (Hardy-Har-Har). Thank you public librarian for your recommendation of a book my son would actually sit through. I cannot wait to share with you one of these weeks a book I’m reading for me.
This is bamboo sock yarn sitting on top of my design notebook. This is a preview of my “Miss Serina Cardigan” that I’m making for Silje. I’ve only redone the top about 4 times, but I think the design is finally how I like it. I was having a lot of indecision for the front of the design and had an epiphany about it just yesterday. I cannot wait for you to see the finished product.
I’m also very relieved that I won’t have to start it over until I’m making the version for me. Yes, after this cardigan for Silje, (only her 3rd mama-made-cardi, not counting shrugs or anything) and after this I’ll finally make one for me. I’ve already splurged on some sa-weet Madelinetosh yumminess in the color “ginger” that is all wound into balls and being admired in a bowl on my dining room table until it’s turn comes up.

October 19, 2011 at 3:01 pmLovely color for that sock yarn. How do you like working with bamboo? I read Strawberry Girl to my two older when they were younger. It was not what I expected either, but still enjoyable. Actually…I learned that a lot of our strawberries at the grocery come from Florida (up to that point, I thought they were from California).
