Yarn Along

Linking up with Ginny.



Reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Actually, by the time this post goes live I will have finished it. No idea what to read next.

Knitting longies, complete with tail. They were intended for the Imp but my math was off (or rather, I was basing them on a pair that I had previously knit with a larger needle.. oops) and they're too small and short. So into the shop they'll go. I'm thinking of knitting a simple kitten hat to go with it.

Longies from the front. Nothing special.


I'm also knitting this cardigan (this time not for me) in a yummy, squishy, purple superwash wool.

I just got an order in the mail today. My last indulgence before we buckle down to save money for a vehicle that will fit all of our children. Tussah silk, bamboo, and merino top. Mmmmm. I can't wait to dye, blend, and spin it into glorious yarn.
