Yarn Along - Summer 2013


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. 


I have finished the Flowers in the Snow blanket for Breagha, and added a pink border to    finish it off. I am really pleased with this - I love the effect of the bright splashes of colour against the white. Definitely one to do again.


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

    Wishing you a lovely day.

  7. Beautiful images, every one of them. Of course, Breagha wrapped up in her lovely new blanket, is the best of all!

    I am amazed that you were able to find those little books for 10p each. That would never happen in New York.

  14. Ok, 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!

  15. so 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.
