Wednesday Yarn Along-Hat Revamp

For this week's yarn along I'm redoing a hat I finished a couple of years ago.  When I finished it I liked it but now want to add a few more rows so that it covers my ears. The Stone Path Hat pattern is on CrochetMe.

 

Still reading Daring Greatly but let's just say it's hitting a few chords and making me think (see previous post).  In between I'm picking up these issues of Mollie Makes. I love the fortune cookies but right now I have my eye on those knitted owl wrist warmers to make soon.

Hope you are enjoying a good knit, crochet or read this Wednesday.

Wednesday Yarn Along

 

I was determined this winter for one completed projeccted in this yarn along and I'm almost there.  Just working on the border.

I haven't even started to read either of these books but they caught my eye at the library and one of them was on my wish list. 

For the younger kids these are what I'm picking up reading on and off.

Happy reading :)

Wednesday Yarn along

 

So far so good already 3 posts in the New Year and one being the Yarn Along. 

 

 

These 2 pieces have been in the works for months the pastel orange/white is a lap throw and the blue is just a soft afghan for the living to cozy up with up which I hope to get done before winter is over.

A Christmas present from my kids very inspiring for future knitting projects.

My latest read "The Midwife"  loved it.  My next read "Daring Greatly".

Enjoy your knitting/crochetting and reading this Wednesday.

Wednesday Yarn Along Long Time

 

Well friends it's been a long long time since I checked into this space. What a better way to check in but with a yarn along of course.  Fall has arrived,  Halloween is here and Sandy is gone from the Northeast but not forgotten. 

 

 

 Once the weather started cooling and summer was officially definitely over it's crochet season over here.  What to begin with how about a couple of afghans.  The blue one is cozy and snuggly and the lighter colored is a lap blanket for V. for Christmas good for snuggling and reading. 

 Back at it again with the cotton twine working on another rug this time I'm trying to write the pattern for myself.  It's a little tricky for me because I tend to fly off the seat of my pants crochetting.

I have had some good reads which I hope to share soon.  I'm currently reading The of Learning Dangerously: Adventures in Homeschooling.  I love that the words dangerous and homeshooling are together in the title. 

Hoping your enjoying a good project or good read!

Summer Break

Hey friends it's been almost a month since there has been a post.  I guess I should have put up a sign saying gone crochetting for the summer :)  Just popping in for a hello it may be quiet in this space for the rest of summer but I hope to pop in occassionally with a finished project or yummy food.  Hope you are enjoying yours where you are.

Yarn Along: New Rug

I started this post yesterday intending to join in the yarn along but didn't realize that I completely abandoned the post and didn't remember it till this morning. Oooops!  Well this is the latest rug added to the one of the bedrooms (sorry the picture isn't so great).  I used a cotton twine and a multicolored cotton yarn this rug is similar to this one. Well that's done now on to the next one a rug for my bathroom.

Monday Links

Well a very rainy monday is here and plenty to do so how about some monday links for inspiration for this week?

Added these two to my recipe list to make this summer asparagus guacamole and lettuce soup.
Love this hoops.
Found a homemade nesquik recipe in the post there is recipe for chocolate syrup.  How awesome may never have to buy these two things again but I think I may need to get better cocoa powder. 
Found a loveley drawing blog.
I'm intrigued by this drawing book.
Don't tell me you don't think these bubble wands aren't awesome! I want one for me too.
I just want to make this cake for no reason it looks happy.
Came across this homemade ranch dressing. 
This looks like a fun basil experiment for adults and kids.

Can't wait to see what I find this week.

Friday Moment-My favorite words this week

The best day

of your life

is the one on which

you decide

your life is

your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to

lean on, rely on,

or to blame.

The gift is yours-

it is an

amazing journey-

and you alone

are responsible for

the quality of it.

This is the day

your life

really begins.
