Yarn Along


I am joining with Ginny at Yarn Along for the first time. I have been intending to join in with Yarn Along for a few weeks and have finally managed to get my act in gear this week (could be something to do with the fact that it is half term and I am not working this Wednesday)!


Yarn Along is where bloggers whose favourite hobbies are knitting/crocheting and reading share what they are working on and reading each week. In my case I love to crochet and on my hook at the moment is my 3rd Sunshine (SIBOL) blanket. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know that I am making these to donate to a local residential care home at Christmas and my aim over the course of the year is to complete at least twelve blankets. 


The book that I am reading at the moment is Amy Snow by Tracy Rees which I am greatly enjoying. This was recommended to me by a member of The Year In Books which I am participating in this year.

  4. Your blanket is beautiful - I love the round of grey separating the squares. My husband has a Kindle whereas I'm a 'proper' book girl. It never struck me before that Kindles have one huge advantage - you don't have to hold them open, so can crochet and read at the same time! Enjoy your half term. xx

  6. Your latest blanket is lovely. I'm sure that having a week off for half term means you are getting more done and hopefully relaxing at the same time.

  8. You have been busy - the crochet squares are looking good, and the colours are so soft. I'm embracing grey a bit more lately in my knitting and crocheting. I must pickup a book again, as I've been reading magazines all week. Have a good weekend.
