{Yarn Along}




It's been sooo long since I've posted any knitting on here. 

Cameron gave me a gift certificate to a local yarn store for Christmas.  I think it stayed in my purse approximately 24 hours.  I had to get something for our trip to Mississippi!

When I get yarn (or fabric) I don't care if it's for me or not.  It's the fun of knitting and sewing, not just the finished product.  So I ended up with yarn for a hat for Callie and some for a project for myself too.

Callie had requested a slouchy hat in grey and there is a perfect pattern in my Jane Brocket book, The Gentle Art of Knitting.  A book I really recommend, by the way.

It was a fun and easy knit.  I may have been a bit off on my gauge though, because it was a bit on the big size and I did need to make some adjustments. 

During this time I was also reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton.  My favorite Kate Morton book so far I think. Although, they are all the kind of book you want to stay up all night to read.  Definitely the type of book I need to save for school breaks!
