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.

    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

    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.

    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.
