yarn along



Well, silly me, I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished knits I was working on secretly the past few weeks, showing only glimpses here.  One of my most precious friends is expecting her first baby, a girl, in August and I couldn't wait for her baby shower!  I made a little heartwarmer and a baby Amanda hat from FrogTree Ewetopia. I loved it and enjoyed praying for this new life while knitting it up. 

I'm back to working on my Radiance shawl, where one row takes hours. I am looking at a new cowl too, to use up some gray Malabrigo in my stash. 

It was a busy week with some traveling so of course yesterday I took all the cupboard doors off and started painting again in the kitchen.  It felt good to move ahead with almost a full day at home to work on it! I am excited by the way the old grimy 70s look is slowly being replaced by a bright farmhouse kitchen.

In all the busy-ness, I still had time to finish "The Magician's Land" and picked up "All The Light We Cannot See" from the library after many recommendations. I am looking forward to starting it and hoping it's as good as so many have said!
Joining Yarn Along with Ginny this morning (but using the blogger app since our crummy country internet is down again at the moment, and I haven't figured out how to add links or adjust photo size...)

  2. A work of love, indeed. I look forward to seeing the final shawl. And yay for painting the kitchen cabinets. That job is looming ahead of me and I have a 60's kitchen. lol I started today by painting my front door. A little instant gratification to inspire me.
