The Creative Home: Yarn Along Spring Notebook
Well it certainly has been a loooooong time since I posted a Yarn Along post.
With all the Christmas knitting I’m afraid I must have suffered some sort of knitters burnout and just completely lost my mojo. I have learned that I tend to operate in ‘seasons’, so each year the knitting season goes on a little vacation before returning full of inspiration.
So this week saw me unearthing my bag of knitting and pulling out a UFO – I cannot start something else until I have finished this project – which happens to be the longest drawn out pair of socks ever! I completed one last year just before Christmas, and managed to get the second one started. I have made quite good progress over the past two evenings and am happy to have something to keep my hands busy whilst watching telly with the family.
I am currently reading a Miss Read book, ‘Winter in Thrush Green’. I have a love for reading small English country village stories. They make me happy ;o) Miss Read books are easy reading and I am able to wrap up a book in about a week. They make for lighthearted reading – the perfect finish to busy days!

I am glad you found your mojo for knitting again. 🙂 I have found knitting to be a great stress reliever so I always keep a project close at hand.

I really like the colors of the yarn you are using for your socks. I'm glad you picked your needles back up.

Im a bit the same with knitting and other crafts, sometimes you just need a break I suppose. The book looks like a nice one and sounds like something I would enjoy

Sometimes a break is just what's needed 🙂 Lovely yarn for the socks.

I love Miss Read books too. She died, aged 98, within the last couple of weeks. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/9198376/Dora-Saint.html

Thanks for sharing the Link. I didn't know that she had passed away.

Ah second sock syndrome– I know it well. Your book selection is very interesting. I hope that they have that book in the US– it looks quite good! I didn't know you have a preschool curriculum. I can not wait to pop over to other blog. I love reading about new ways to teach your tot!

Funny how socks are often lurking at the bottom of most knitter's work in progress bags! I have a pair there that I pick up in between projects. I like the pattern your yarn is making.
