Yarn Along

Gone with the Wind continues to be my "yarn" of choice. I had thought I would read it faster, but I find myself slowing down to savor the story. I'm getting reacquainted with characters that were left out of the move, like Scarlett's little son Wade who suffers the terrors of war and Yankees and his mother!



I have two projects to show you this week. This chunky, mulberry cowl which I may keep for myself or put it in the shop. I just love this color!


The Cat in the Hat book-blankey is for the Nest Egg Knits shop. I've been working on this one after dinner while we do our Advent readings and talk. It's so chunky and cozy! I can't think of anything sweeter than cuddling up with a little person, this blanket, and a book. Yum.


I'm joining Ginny and friends at Small Things. Go see what everyone else is knitting and reading!

  1. I like that color too. Very wintery!

    I just finished knitting my first blanket and had the hardest time blocking it. In fact, I'm sure I did it wrong. It has stripes, but I had the hardest time getting them straight, as well as the edges. Any suggestions? I am about ready to toss it in the drier!

    1. Stripes are hard to block; I'm not sure I have any tips other than blocking it on a mat with lines. Acrylic doesn't usually need to be blocked, so it depends what it's made of. I look forward to seeing it!

  2. I love both of your projects! The cowl looks like it would be real warm.

  3. I've never heard of something like a Dr. Seuss inspired blanket but I love the idea and I am in love with the colours! That is so cool, thanks for sharing! Happy knitting!

  4. I have not been able to knit or crochet is so long. I miss it terribly! I can't wait to see your Cat in the Hat book-blankey!

    1. If you look up on the right side-bar, there's a thumbnail of the other Cat in the Hat blanket that is in the shop. This one will be the same except chunky! Yum!
