Yarn Along Wednesday:Cowl & Books

Joining for Ginny's yarn along. 

Finally finished a cowl for me. Started and completed this about a month ago but it was too loose so after I unraveled it and cast on 77 and used size 7 needles.The pattern is from ravelry the Birthday Cowl.Love it I just modified the stitches to cast on 77 and used smaller needles just wanted it to be more snug like a turtleneck. Loving this cowl so much that I'm thinking my wardrobe needs more.

We went to the used book sale at the library and found these books :

Nancy Drew Notebooks

Hannah West in Deep Water

My Brother Sam is Dead

The Journey Back
The First Woman Doctor
When Hitler Stole the Pink Rabbit
Guardians of Ga’Hoole Books 1-4

I know quite the variety isn’t? I think I’ll read a couple of the historical stuff ones first?

 For me the Singer Sewing Book. I think it will be helpful for when I start sewing again.

I also came across this magazine I found at the library.

I apologize for the grainy photos and no links hope your enjoying a good read or neat project.

Yarn Along: Sick Cowl

Needed a day of normalcy today so what better to start my Wednesday but with a yarn along.  I call this my sick cowl because I started it last week when I had a really bad cold and wanted something warm for my neck for when I got better.

 I saw this Birthday Cowl at my local yarn store and just loved how the stitches slant. I had treated myself to a Manos de Urugualy yarn back December to make something for myself. Loving it so far.

These are what I call my dangerous magazines Stitch and Mollie Makes. There is too much good inspiration I won't be able to do for a while.  (I have a lot of knitting and crochetting lined up. And I mean lots!)  Last week at the library I m\picked up Martha's book here to drive myself more crazy with ideas :)
Happy Wednesday!
