Yarn Along


Linking up with Ginny at Small Things for another yarn along.
So, I did it! I finally tried cables and you know what? They aren't that hard. I mean, yes, you do have to pay close attention and it is far from mindless knitting, but they are OK. Pretty fun, actually. Phoebe's milo vest is going sort of slow, since I am trying to pay close attention, but hoping I will have it done by next week (now that I have overcome my fear of cables!). When I need some mindless knitting, I have been working on baby hats and another drop-stitch cowl (my fourth- I am addicted!).
I started reading The Beautiful Ruins for my latest book club read, and so far it is good. Interesting, ironic humor, and easy to read. I am still plugging through the book Dirt as well, and I am surprised how poetic it is for a work on non-fiction.
What are you reading? What are you knitting?

    Ohh cables are my next attempt. You've given me courage, and I love the color you're working in.

    The milo looks very pretty with the cables! Isn't it fun to try something new and mastering it? Good for you!

    I have not done cables yet, but you've helped me feel more confident about them. :)
