yarn along

Finished my grapefruit cowl! I have worn it a couple of times this week, it's so soft! Also the color is one of my favorites. Last week someone commented and told me the color looks like grapefruits, and I decided to call it my grapefruit cowl. :) The pattern I am using is Milchkaffee by Cabin Four. 

Also I am still reading Gone With the Wind. I honestly really love this book. I was thinking I would have a hard time getting into it, but surprised myself and now I can't put it down. It's such a great story and has been keeping me occupied in the evenings and early mornings. 

What are you knitting or reading?

    Gone with the Wind is my all time top book! I have a first year printing and it is a prized treasure in my home.
    I love your Grapefruit Cowl, and the color is magnificent!

    I have to admit to never reading GWTW -- love the cover on yours; is it an old copy? LOVE the colorway of your cowl!!

      You should read Gone With The Wind! I got the book from the library and the copyright says 1964. :)

    Your cowl is a lovely colour - very pretty! I love Gone With The Wind and I just this week found another book that I want to read, as apparently the author 'discovered' Margaret Mitchell. It is called Lamb In His Bosom by Caroline Miller and won the Pulitzer Prize a few years before Gone With The Wind. Happy knitting!

    Gone with the Wind - good for you! I read it when I was about your age, and loved it, too. Your cowl looks perfect. :)
