My yarn along this week is pretty boring. Unless you consider that beautiful rainbow yarn sitting there!
That was my birthday present from Ree. My husband said anytime he asked her what she wanted to get me for my birthday she said "yarn" in a matter of fact voice. And then she picked out the brightest pink yarn in the store & told me I needed to make both she & I a pair of socks with it. So that's what I plan!
In the bottom left hand corner you can see a little of my February Lady Sweater. That's not really far enough along to take a picture of & be able to tell what it is. Maybe next week. I need to work on it for it to take shape though!
I finished The Rhythm of Memory over the weekend. A very good book. A little disturbing at times. It's about a couple living in Chile during the 1973 coup. Due to the husband's public hatred of the General who took over, the wife suffers horribly. But the story of how they make it through is beautiful.
I want to make bread this winter so I got Artisan Bread in Five Minutes from the library the other day. I've read through the basic recipe & even have all the ingredients. But the past few times I've tried making bread it hasn't come out well at all. So I'm stalling on that.
Your Ree is just so sweet Jen and I can't wait to see the matching socks.
ReplyDeleteCare to share what happened when you made your bread? Maybe we can help. I have the same book, but except for sourdough I still bake bread the way I always have, the old fashioned way ;)
Hey Hey - our socks look EXACTLY the same! I had to laugh when I saw your yarn. I will hopefully cast on tonight and get some better pics up on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI love your yarn!! and I love that Ree bought if for you, she has taste and she has style :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Love the yarn Ree picked out. Hopefully this comment doesn't show up 5 times. I'm typing in my phone and the wireless is freaking out in me.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is really pretty. It would make great socks. I'll be trying my hand at some socks in the very near future.
