yarn along: Keep Your Love On and Miette



Hello! I thought I'd pop by to share what I'm reading and what's (still) on my needles at the mo. 

I've not been a busy blogger, but I have been a busy bee. Craft-wise, I've got my hands full with a couple of secret projects that, God willing, I'll be able to share with you in a few month's time. But, that hasn't left a whole lot of time for reading and non-project making. They're good for the soul, though, aren't they? It's so important to make time for those kind of things, especially when you feel in a bit of a whirl. 

So, my current bedside book is Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk. It's about love, communication and boundaries. I'm not far in yet and it's already pretty challenging! Will keep you posted. Have you read it?

On my needles is Miette. Yep, that cardi I started at Christmas – still going! I pressed pause on it a few times, but now I'm determined to get it finished. It's my knit night project as once I'm out at the pub and everyone else is stitching, I have no choice but to get on with it! The second sleeve needs finishing, then it's just button bands and neckband to go - phew! 

Hope all's well with you. I'd love to know what you're reading and making.

  2. Nice color and nice lace details! It's alright for projects to take time... That way you can appreciate a little bit more the time and effort put into it whenever you wear it.

  6. I love the detail on the cardigan! I've never tried one with lace detail, sticking with colour work or simple garments myself, but this looks so lovely I might have to queue it up! jenny xx

    1. Jenny! It's my first ever adult-sized knitted garment - definitely recommend this pattern - it's fairly simple! If I can do it, you definitely can! :) x
