Yarn Along

IMG_1120

With this past weekend being so hot & spending a lot of time upstairs with the air conditioning I got quite a bit of knitting & reading done.

I finished the stripy socks from last week. I LOVE the yarn...Knit Picks Felici in Time Traveler (which is gone now). It knit up nice and soft. I hope it wears well. I did the heel in a darker grey yarn because I was afraid I wouldn't have enough of the Felici. I did but oh well because THEN I got to knit a newborn pair of stripy socks!

I couldn't wait to cast on SOMETHING for the new babe until we find out next week what it will be. I figure stripy socks are gender neutral. These are from one of the leftover balls of yarn. I plan on knitting up another little pair from the other ball.

I've been getting quite a bit of reading in too. Over the weekend I started & finished The Fault in our Stars on the recommendation of my sister. It was excellent. I couldn't put it down. Now I'm reading Dan Brown's new book. It's ok so far. I am liking reading about the art history of Italy.

  4. Are you going to let us know about the baby? I am so excited for you and your family.

    I have been wanting to read Fault in Our Stars, but have been afraid it would make me cry. I just lost a good friend to C and it still hurts.

  5. I can't wait to hear whether it's a boy or girl! I haven't put my name on the wait list for the Dan Brown book yet. It's hundreds of people long and I've got so many books on my shelves to read and I just ordered more from Paperbackswap.com that I really didn't need to do.

  11. The socks are cute! And definitely will work for either gender. And once you find out what it will be... you'll be knitting up a storm, right?!
