yarn along.

Y'all I am still working on my sweater! I really hope I finish it by the end of April. I am so close! Right now, I am knitting the last sleeve and after that all I need to do is sew up all the different pieces. I keep pinching myself, because I am making a sweater! The whole experience was easier than I imagined. The only thing we fear is fear itself. -Franklin Roosevelt 

This week I am reading the Guernsey Literacy and the Potato Peel Society. I have read this book before and really enjoyed it. It's a great evening read.

    One of my all time favorite books and now I want to pull my copy from the shelve to reread.
    Have you read The Glass Castle? It's also a favorite.

    Your sweater looks like it's beautiful! Sweaters are just large scale knitting mostly and if you have a good pattern, they're nothing to fear! Great job!

    Just read your bio info. Noticed you want to be a graphic designer! That's what I do :) I designed Ginny's new Yarn Along logo. You'll love graphic design. So versatile for working flexibility. Nice to see a young knitter out there too!!

    I enjoyed that book too. My mum read it this weekend and picked it apart, so I'm glad to hear someone else enjoyed it!

      It's such a sweet, sad, and funny book. I really like that it's in a letter format. :)
