I have two passions that keep following me in life. One of them is reading, and the other one is knitting. I am sure this is not a revelation for you, if you read my blog from time to time. However, today I am going to combine the two with this icon, Yarn Along.
The idea behind this icon is to match up two things you enjoy. It could be a description of a knitting, and some musings over a book; or it can be a picture to illustrate your progress in knitting/crocheting and the book.
This is how I join in with Ginny on Wednesdays about knitting and reading.
So I have great news! My 5 hour sweater fit the baby! In fact it is a little big on him, which is a plus.... that I forgot to measure it to have a comparison in the future, is not so nice.
I am on my next adventure for this pretty boy, I fall in love with this geometric pattern, and started a baby blanket for him.
I am progressing pretty well, and got a 60 inch circular needle. I started with the dpns and then switched to 2 23 inch circular needles, and even that seemed almost short. I am knitting with 100% cotton, not so fond of it, but I think it will be nice for the summer. I miss wool. The touch the flexibility, and the warmth.
I am reading Sweater Quest by Adrienne Martini, I like it. I was amazed at the Alice Starmore saga in the book. I am all for copyright, but this was a bit too much for me.
I am at times wondering how I don't have enough of knitting. I read about it, I can search for patterns for hours and knit... yet I am not getting enough... I am glad, that this is so intense, but at times I wonder, for long will this last?
Ket dolog van amit soha nem unok meg, az olvasas es a kotes. Gondolom, ez nem nagy hir, ha mar olvastatok a blogot, de most elhataroztam, hogy osszekotom oket a Yarn Along gombbal.
Itt az az otlet, hogy ossze hozzuk azt, ami orommel tolt el minket. Az lehet egy kotes/horgolas leirasa, es egy konyvrol valo monfondirozas. Es lehet egy foto is, amin a konyv es az alakulo kotes/horgolas van.
Igy csatlakozom Ginny szerdai olvasok es kotok oldalahoz.
Kaptam fotot a kis modellemrol, ahogy edesen alszik az uj pulcsijaban. Egy kicsit nagy lett, de ez nem baj. Az mar inkabb, hogy elfelejtettem lemerni mielott elkuldtem.
Elkezdtem egy ujabb kis ajandekot neki, ezuttal 100% pamut fonalbol. Nem kellemetlen, de vastag, es hat a gyapjuhoz kepest egy napon nem emlitheto. Itt talalhato a minta.
Kozben ezt a konyvet olvasom, ami arrol szol, hogy egy no szeretne kotni egy Alice Starmore pulcsit. Es hat errol ir, meg mas kotessel kapcsolatos kalandjairol illetve olvasmanyairol. Eleg szorkoztato.
Ha nyers forditasban szeretnetek errol olvasni itt tehetitek... a gimis angol orakat jutattja az eszembe, amikor valahogy ugy jott ki egy forditasunk, (igaz csapat munka volt) hogy: mindenhol latta, de sehol sem talalta. Na ez szalloigeve vallt, sot meg ma is hasznalom egy akkori angolos oszt.tarsammal.
The cardigan is so sweet! I was amazed to see your other project because a knit blogger friend is knitting that same exact pattern. Love your color choice! I've never heard of the book you're reading but now I have to get myself a copy!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is fun. I will definitely knit this in wool again!
