I am super excited to start Yarn Along created by Ginny Sheller. Each week a bunch of knitters come together to share what they are creating and reading.
This week I am making a purple basket using the pattern from the book More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I have made a basket before and I really enjoyed it so I am hoping that this one turns out just as good!
I recently finished the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett and loved it! The book is well written and shows what happened to the maids during that time period. I have also watched the movie, but I think that the book is better. What have you been knitting or reading?
That's a very pretty color of yarn. I like your quilt, too. I liked the movie but didn't much care for the book.
ReplyDeleteKnitting a basket sounds like such a fun idea! I loved The Help when I read it a few years ago too.
ReplyDeleteI have the movie on my DVR but your are the second person today who is recommending the book. I think I will have to read it now! I love your lilac yarn. So perfect for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Yarn Along post today - welcome to the party. :) I loved both the book and the movie but enjoyed the book more. Happy knitting, ~Lisa
ReplyDeleteYes, welcome to Yarn Along!!! Beautiful color and I too enjoyed the book!
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn, such a pretty colour.
ReplyDeletethe book was well written; it really stayed with one! lovely colour! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the finished basket in my favorite color. Welcome to Yarn Along! I loved that book also.
ReplyDeleteHi there - a knitted basket sounds great. Another fan of The Help here- I also enjoyed the film x
ReplyDeleteI've actually never seen the movie OR read the book, so I can't put in my two cents, but I love all of the purple in this photo! Gorgeous.
