Here's what has just come off my needles. I'm itching to cast on another but I'm a bit torn with yarn choices and the pattern needs a bit of tweaking. I'm far too impatient for tweaking though!
This is my first prototype of my next pattern - Primrose. She's Katniss' little sister and the pattern is more delicate than Katniss. As any fan of The Hunger Games would hopefully agree it should be. The yarn is fromFeatherbrush Yarns and was dyed especially to knit this - it's even called Primrose. Sorry, it's just a sneak peek but I don't want to reveal too much until I've got a lovely photo.
And what I'm reading right now. Well, I'm reading a few pages of this each night to be honest! Hopefully I'll have moved onto the next book by next Wednesday. This is a Charlaine Harris book, Grave Surprise. Charlaine is the author of the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series and I really enjoyed those too, and when I find an author I like, I read my way through everything they've written so far. Perhaps it's a bit like my one WIP at a time thing, have to work my way through a whole project before I can move onto something else.
welcome to the yarnalong! Your knit looks sweet, can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteDid I do that right then? :D
DeleteGorgeous Photos Julia! I need to get a new book. I find I get so involved in a book and can't put it down. So for the last wee while I stick to parenting books, which actually is just tragic. Oh except the whole FSoG phase!! Looking forward to the Primrose release!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read FSoG yet, I've got them all, sitting next to my bed to read them, but I know I don't want to spend every night for the next couple of weeks staying up too late reading them so haven't even opened them yet...and I've had them since February!
DeleteI loved the Sookie Stackhouse books too, nice bits of escapism! I have read her other books too, and enjoyed them all, it is great to find an author with a nice big back library to go through! Hunger Games was a great read too, can't wait to see what you come up with! Have a great day, Julie
