Yarn Along

Joining Ginny again this week for

Yarn Along 56. At least is seems that way.

This is the very same sweater that I posted about way

back when on the first Yarn Along.

It is STILL the Elizabeth Zimmermann Tomten Jacket.

It is still the garter stitch, row upon row of which I am growing

quite weary.

In fact, I am kind of hating this sweater before I have even worn it.

It seems as if I have been knitting it forever, and

I have.

 I have only about one third of a sleeve yet to complete.

And a small collar.

And to put the zipper in.

But still. I cannot wait to finish it and yet

I dread to pick up the needles to do so.



 And on to the reading.

As we are well into the school year I am

doing a little check point on our progress

by reading this Home Learning book.

Just making sure we are covering all the bases

and not leaving anything important out.

 And in personal reading, I am just starting out with this book.

Thank you Heather.

I read one portion as I sit on the mat

in preparation for my daily yoga practice.

So far I am really enjoying it.

But my feet are freezing!!

I have a whole basket of yarn waiting for me

to make my winter slippers.

At this rate, I won't be able to start them until spring.

Not to mention I am in need of new dishcloths as well.

If I can only finish this darned sweater.

Sigh.
