Quick, Late Yarn Along

Just a quick join-in with Ginny and the yarn-alongers, a day late but still hanging on!


I'm still reading Breast Intentions very slowly. Non-fiction takes me a lot longer, because it actually requires me to pay attention. I don't seem to have much of an attention span at the moment, it's all taken up by the boys. Which is as it should be.

I picked up a copy of this magazine (produced by Molly Makes) this week. £5 goes towards Comic Relief for every copy sold, and it's full of ideas for raising money by having a craft sale. I had a juicy half-hour in a forest car park to read this, both boys asleep in the back between activities. Those moments are getting few and far between! Sausages has had a look and would like me to knit him a pirate beard. 'Tis my privilege!

Knitting is clue 2 of Follow Your Arrow 2. Slow progress because I keep miscounting and having to tink half a row. I am seriously considering finding myself something a bit more mindless to work on at the moment, what do you think?

I hope you're having a good week, do let me know what you've been making

  1. Sometimes something mindless is the ticket for me. When I find I need that, a few good dishcloths are enough and then I go back to my tricky knitting!

  3. non fiction takes me longer as well, I think because there might be learning involved for me :) Love your project on the needles.

    1. thank you! That's exactly it I suppose, we are taking more in from non-fiction so we take longer to read/digest? For me it's definitely finding the time to concentrate properly.

  4. That magazine looks really interesting - wonder if I can get it in Australia? I agree with Sarah - dishcloths always do the trick for me too. Or if I am getting frustrated that I am not actually finishing something!
