I've gone as far as I can with the ball of yarn I had. That's the problem with knitting from stash. Now what. I think I will start a shawl for a Christmas gift, one I KNOW I have enough yarn to finish, and one that uses different needles, so that shouldn't pose a problem. I'll just ignore the honey hat until I get a chance to hit up my LYS (though it is actually for ME, so I hope it will be done before the true cold sets in).
What am I reading? Not much really. Julian is reading CS Lewis's The Four Loves with two friends and he is reading it aloud to me at home. I also am part-way through The Blood of An Englishman by MC Beaton. It isn't holding my attention much but it doesn't require a lot of attention, either, so I can easily pick up where I left off.
What are you reading and/or knitting? Show and tell with Ginny.
DOH! I hate it when the yarn runs out before you're done. Hopefully you can find more!
ReplyDeleteThat's some very pretty knitting going on in your photo. I read the Four Loves years ago (maybe time to read it again), I hope you will both enjoy reading it together :)
ReplyDeleteCasting on a new shawl makes things better! That really is the downside of using stash yarn - running out before the project is done.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I have a hard time just buying yarn to have in my stash. You never know what to make or if you have enough.
ReplyDeleteShawls are so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that that is a hard aspect of knitting from stash! I almost never buy yarn unless I have a project in mind for it but I haven't figured out how to use up the rest. I think I need a food/yarn scale so I can calculate my yardage based on weight since that would help me avoid the same difficulties which I've encountered too many frustrating times! That hat is so cute!
ReplyDeletethe englishman book sounds good, I'll await for your final review. I finished that book you know the one, I was overall underwhelmed.
