Yarn Along...Easter Shrug

"Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs." Ginny's words describing the yarn along!

 Ree has discovered the joys of taking books out of the library. These are the ones we took out this week. I'm not sure what the dishtowel is doing but I'm sure it had a purpose! Her favorite activity right now is to "play" library. She stacks her books, puts them in a bag, checks them out with her cash register then repeat. It's so cute to watch!

Momma is also reading but my book was upstairs & I'm lazy in the morning. I started How to Eat a Cupcake. Two best friends since baby hood had a falling out their senior year in high school then circumstances bring them back together 10 years later. It's very good.

I cast on for a project last Sunday! I still haven't decided what to have the yarn from last week be, but realized that Ree needs a shrug for her Easter dress. I finished the arms last night so now it's just the (short!) back and the border. It's going quickly & I should still have time to knit up a few other small projects I have in mind before Easter.

What is everyone's Ravelry names? I'm JeninRI over there!

  7. I have that book on my list of books "to-read". The description reminds me of my own life.

  8. Libraries are such a great activity. We are going once a week at the moment. Hope the shrug grows quickly.

  9. The library was one of my favorite places when I was a kid. Sadly our library here is very tiny (they are building a new one in a couple of years) so my daughter never had that same love that I did.

    The shrug is going to looks so cute on Ree!
