I finished Ingrid’s Tiny Tea Leaves while my parents were here. It basically just needed ends woven in, and I do still need to sew on some buttons. Like I did with Silje’s Tiny Tea Leaves I did years ago, I did button holes the whole length of the front instead of just 2 at the top. I just love the simple little pattern, that goes so quick and is so cute. I’m now full steam ahead on my first hat design now for my collection, after recouping my knitting mojo through this project. Sometimes you just need rows of stockinette stitch to ponder knitterly things.
I’m still reading The Egg and I and actually making some good progress. I’m laughing so hard reading this book and I don’t know if it’s because I also raise chickens, or if I’m also a farmer’s wife. I feel like I know people in this book, mostly because some of them are just like people I know in real life, and maybe that’s why I think it’s so funny. I don’t live in Washington State, though, but I certainly want to visit it even more after reading this book. In fact, her descriptions are so amazing, that I feel like I’ve already been in the mountainous wilderness up there.
Linking up with Ginny’s Yarn Along.

August 27, 2014 at 5:44 pmOh it’s so lovely! After seeing your post last week I was scratching my head avout Betty MacDonald but didn’t have time to look her up. This week we went on a trip and pulled out Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle to read and it dawned on me where I’d heard her name before!! I bet The Egg and I is hilarious and I put it on my library holds. it really is so beautiful and varied in our great state, I can’t imagine living too far from moutains and seas.
