The Creative Home: Yarn Along – Summer

Joining Ginny

I have finally finished my Oaklet Shawl. It really is very pretty and love these colors but I was disappointed with the size.

This shawl was meant to be for my sister in South Africa, but I just do not think that it is going to be of much use to her – it’s like a little handkerchief!

However …. this project has not been a complete failure. It is the *perfect* size for little 12 year old girls! My daughter was DE–light–ed to be the recipient and new owner of this little shawl – especially when we all saw how beautifully it ‘fitted’ her while she modeled for the camera.

Of course, this means that I will just *have* to buy more yarn to knit *another* shawl (different pattern of course) for my sisters. Isn’t just awful when you have to go yarn shopping? -LOL

Currently I am busy with another pair of socks which I consider a bit of a ‘filler’ project while I choose yarn for the next shawl.

Reading wise – I am browsing through the pages of my favorite nature inspiration book, ‘Keeping A Nature Journal by Clair Walker Lesley. I find keeping my own nature journal to be very relaxing – I just love it! I often refer to this book as a source of inspiration or simply page though it for the pure enjoyment I get from it’s pages!

That about wraps up this weeks Yarn Along for me. Have a great week…
