Yarn Along

I have finally finished off projects started, sewing in ends and blocking which is a lovely feeling.




 
I have started to make a record of gifts made and who I want them for, its a lovely feeling to know that I am giving something made with love.
 
 
I have started yet another lacy shawl, I love the pattern and the yarn this time is a lovely smoky grey which is perfect for who I have in mind.
 
 
I am reading Thin by Grace Bowman, a memoir of anorexia and her recovery,  a really sad heart breaking account of her addiction to starvation.
 
 
I am once again joining Ginny over at Small Things, why not pop over and see what others have on their needles/hooks and what they are reading.  Have a wonderful day.
 
See you soon.

    Bravo on finishing things and making records and giving handmade gifts! What pattern is that shawl? I'm working on an Elise shawl in natural alpaca. It's getting bigger! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

      I used the pattern designed by Elisabeth de Herraiz in issue 29 of simply crochet. Hope that helps.

    You are so talented! Wonder if I could find someone to teach me to crochet. I am in need of a new pass time. I am so burnt out on making bonnets and aprons!
