May- Yarn Along

 It is hard to believe it is already May. The month of April seemed to fly by, despite the winter-like weather we had most of the month. Spring has finally arrived here and we are enjoying the spring breezes, golden daffodils and sunshine!

Today I am pleased join the May Yarn Along. Despite spring's arrival my knitting is autumn minded. I know how little knitting I accomplish throughout the summer months, so I thought it best to begin work on a new fall/winter cardigan for Jemimah. The pattern I am using is "Granny's Favorite", I used this pattern once before.

I am currently reading For All Your Life by Emilie Loring. The book was published in 1952. It is a fun romantic mystery about a young woman who unexpectedly inherits a fortune, as well as a beautiful mountain home. From the day of her arrival mystery has followed her, as she and her new found friends try to discover a missing parrot and $10,000 of stolen money. I am more than halfway through the book, and have enjoyed the descriptions and story line. However it is not my favorite Emilie Loring book. I have read a few of her books now, and this so far has been my least favorite.
You may remember these coasters from this post. They were a fun project and the best part is they are pretty and practical! I used this pattern to crochet my coasters.

  1. The yarn along sounds like fun. I might join you all if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong with this beginner infinity scarf pattern.

  3. How lovely, Sarah! I agree with Elizabethd, the coasters are a gorgeous color. And I love the blue for the sweater -- the first you made was darling, and I'm sure this one will be, as well.

    Cheers,
    Shannon

  4. Love the blue of the little sweater. The couple on the cover of the book gave me a chuckle. They are so dressed up. Yes, this is a welcome spring.
