I was able to see two of my sisters (and, of course, LUCY!) when we went to the Sheep and Wool festival in our area. Kate gave me ten huge balls of her own homespun in a beautiful milk white color and I wasted no time in casting on to a simple stockinette stitch blanket with a garter stitch border. I can't wait to give it back to her!
I've begun to read The Scent of Water and really hope that I like it... I could use a new go-to author!

oh! I hope you LOVE this book!!! I sure did! It was the book for me that was in ways like Phantastes was for CS Lewis... transformed me into a new seeing of spiritual reality and hope, when I was 19... read it again years later when I was about 28 and just as good... I've been thinking I should re-read it soon! :) Can't wait to see your knit blanket! what a sweet thing it is for sisters to knit together and share yarn! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight homespun wool and wonderful to do projects with family. Looking forward to seeing the end blanket.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is wonderful!!! I'm going to check out this book.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like knitting with hand spun. Your yarn looks so soft and squishy! Hope you enjoyed the festival.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll love the book. It is magical.
ReplyDeleteokay, that book just went on my amazon wishlist based on all the loving reviews I read here! I would love to have a new author too! Beautiful handspun, I can't imagine someone just handing me all the gorgeous yarn to work with!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn. I am looking forward to seeing the finished blanket.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you would be disappointed with Elizabeth Goudge - her books are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go to that festival but couldn't make it this year...The yarn and blanket look nice so far...
