Yarn along

Today I am attempting to post on my tablet while feeding baby three, so it's a bit of an experiment! I thought I'd submit to Ginny's yarn along. Knitting this week is a soaker in the rather gorgeous blue tit yarn by West Yorkshire Spinners. I've been fighting the urge to cast on a cardi for myself this week. I fancy something simple and open fronted, perhaps the Harvest by Tin Can knits. I love all the patterns in their Simple collection, and they're free, so if you haven't discovered them yet do have a look. I currently have very little knitting time because three NEVER wants to be put down. This always gives me castonitis!

Reading this week is just some quick fiction between factual books. Jodie Picoult is very readable. If you like her style but prefer an English voice I highly recommend this little gem. Enjoy!

If you're missing my parenting related book reviews do pop back soon because I have two in the works, and one comes with a giveaway, which I'm hoping to run over the weekend. In the mean time stay creative, keep reading, and see you soon!

    What pretty yarn! Harvest has been on my list for a while. I would love to do it with some of my hand spun yarn.

      Quite an achievement at the moment for me! The yarn does knit up nicely, I'm so pleased because Sausages (6) chose it for his baby Bro!

    I am impressed. My laptop was not working for 2 weeks and I couldn't figure out how to add pictures via my iPad. That yarn is very pretty. I will be perfect for a soaker. I like reading Jodi Piccoult. Thanks for the pattern link.

      Yes that took me a while too. I have only worked out how to put pictures in at the end, but that will do!

    I've used the undyed version of this yarn. It is lovely. Love the pattern your yarn is creating. I can see it as a cardigan too. Next time?
