Yarn Along: 13 July

Yarning (and sweating) along with Ginny again this week...

This year my determination to keep the air conditioner off as long as possible is getting in the way of sweater progress. I have turned to this cowl, a present for my own mama (who refuses to read this blog).  This project will accompany us to the beach for the rest of the season, as it is nice and light and just what I need.

Reading has been sporadic at best, but I am determined to overcome that lack of focus.  I am loving The Egg and I.  Have you read it?  It is quirky and funny and light--again just what I need.

We all need smaller projects to work on in the summer. This should be perfect for you.

I give you credit for knitting a sweater in the summer!

That book sounds really cute.

I love that cowl for your mom! I was worried during our very short heat wave that I wouldn't be getting much knitting done - thankfully it's rainy and cool, just perfect.

I've never heard of that book but I'm going to give it a try. Looks adorable! Also adorable? That yarn. Love it.

Why does your mom refuse?!
I e-mail mine to my mom. She's not super tech savvy.

Hmmm, I've been lacking focus as well! I thought it was just me. The cowl is lovely!
Catching up on blogs today... sorry I've been away so long. Your farmette is looking lovely! And those catbird eggs are breathtaking! You have the nicest nature photos!

Oh, I read The Egg and I several years ago from my local library. I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought it as well as three of her other books. Thanks for reminding me about it! I have been wanting to re-read it and keep forgetting! It's coming off the bookshelf tonight. :)

Looking forward to seeing more of your cowl.

Haven't read The Egg and I. Love that yarn--sweater knitting is awful in the summer! Why doesn't your mom read your blog?
