Joining in with Ginny for Yarn Along today, knitting in beautiful places, with a beautiful friend. I have cast on this sweater for James, using the Sublime organic merino from my stash.
Not much reading going on here, in these busy days. I have a few books waiting in the wings for cooler days and darker evenings, but I was thrilled to come across this fantastic pile of vintage Ladybird books in the charity shop for 10p each. James and I have started working through the pile, beginning last night with Cleopatra and Ancient Egypt.
Couldn't resist another shot of Breagha snuggled up in her Grandma made blanket. xxx
I love that colour of blue! You have a lot of books to read. Simply adore the Flowers in the Snow blanket (and little Breagha is a doll)!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day.

What a beautiful view to look at whilst knitting. The blanket is lovely, hope it gets lots of use. Those books look like a great find, I remember well those ladybird books as a child!
ReplyDeleteHow special to have something knit by a Grandmother. I still have all the blankets my Granny knit me when I was a baby.
ReplyDeletefirst of all aren't you lucky to be with a friend?? and second: the blanket is gorgeous and I love the photo of your grandbaby swaddled in LOVE :)
ReplyDeleteSuper blanket and those books- bargain!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to create! Your first photo is just idyllic. Your blanket looks superb and perfect with Breagha snuggled inside xx
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is beautiful as is Breagha.
ReplyDeleteOk, I saw the blanket and was excited, then I saw the books and was even more excited. But then you posted the baby girl and I was blown away. What a beauty!
ReplyDeleteso much goodness. love the blanket and how colorful it is ... love the wool that you have started for James ... love the picture of your lovely Breagha and I absolutely love the ladybird books ... I grew up on them; if I found any in a charity shop, I would probably become quite emotional and might start having a bit of a sniffle right there in the shop. they are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI love the pics and then when I read the comments I thought what can I possibly add other than to say THANK YOU for sharing your stuff with us. XXX Don
