I am linking up with the lovely Ginny again this week to see what everyone is reading and knitting! This week I'm busy working on Jenny's fall sweater....since taking this photo I have finished the body and I'm almost done with the first sleeve! I am so close on all three sweaters. Nomi's just needs the button bands re-knit on the proper needles this time (oops!), Bobby's sleeves are a work in progress, and now Jenny's is flying off the needles. {note to self stick with worsted or bulky weight yarn for sweaters from now on!}
Bobby is very fond of the "Duck and Goose" books, and Nomi has just recently discovered their delights this week. I have probably read this one a dozen times in the last two days! I'm trying to find moments to read the wonderful book "Project-Based Homeschooling" by Lori Pickert (and her great blog!). I love her writing style and even though I've just started the book, I can tell it's going to be a favorite. Lots of good stuff there...I am excited to really get into it.
Happy knitting!
Ooh a book featuring a duck and goose, I must find a copy for my boys, they would love it :) Beautiful shade of yarn you are using there x
ReplyDeleteI really agree with you about bulky yarn and sweaters, they are a perfect combo, they go so fast.
ReplyDeleteHappy knitting.
Hello Virginia...where you live looks beautiful. Since I was a little girl I've always dreamt of living on a farm... Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is a lovely autumn colour.
Happy knitting to you too!

My boys are a little too old for Duck and Goose, but that cover is so inviting, I think I want to read it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI really have to get project based homeschooling, heard so many great things about it. Glad to hear you are enjoying it. I love that pink, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYep, I hear you on using the right needles! I had to do what the pattern said on my sweater, it's amazing how it works out when you follow directions. Lovely project in the photo!!!
ReplyDeletethank you so much re: the book! :) i don’t know if you’ve checked it out yet, but we also have a very warm, supportive forum on the site for people who are reading the book and trying out pbh. hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteProject Based Homeschooling seems to be jumping out at me from everywhere lately! I guess that means that I have to check it out! :) Beautiful knitting!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to your completed test knit, beautiful colour. Thank you for directing me to Lori's blog, I will be reading through it today:)
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Project Based Homeschooling a few times, so maybe it is time for me to put it on my list! That pink is gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is going to be beautiful! Such a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see ;) I've been wanting to knit up a vest or funky 3/4 sleeve sweater for my almost ten year old with a pile of teal and purple worsted weight yarn sitting on my shelf. I've pulled it all out several times.... but I've GOT to finish that sock first. Decreasing today! Should have it done by the end of the week. Even with my typical procrastination.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the sweaters!! :)
