I'm in a blissful state of new knitting projects right now. I think I cast on for four new projects this week! No deadlines, no secrecy, just yummy yarn and a cold (which is the perfect cover for extra knitting time!), and a nice man who keeps bringing me tea. {It's so, so, SO, good to have him home! I'm ignoring the part about being half done with this leave time...} Miss Jenny is working on knitting project number 2 ~a dolly scarf. She wanted to know what was the next thing to learn about knitting, so with a little coaching we are practicing purling! Does anyone know of a good rhyme for learning the process? I did pair down the following photos, believe it or not! Proud-mama-itis for certain...

I'm joining up with Ginny for the {Yarn Along} today. I don't have a picture of it, but my dear friend sent me a copy of "On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" for Christmas and I'm a few chapters in. She has excellent taste in books so I know I'll like it! What are you making these days?
Wow, what a great post! Is that a calorimetry your daughter is wearing? She is adorable, and her work is beautiful! Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteOh-so-sweet! I love the looks of concentration and delight on her little face. Hope you're feeling better soon,

ReplyDeletehow sweet to have an expert knitter! The stitches look lovely and so very even :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great. My two year old LOVES it when I knit. She keeps exclaiming, "Yarn. Needles." I look forward to teaching her someday.
ReplyDeleteI read that book last year and enjoyed it. Love the photos and two knitters in the house!
