Yarn Along

As a way to motivate myself to read and knit more I am going to start joining Ginny Sheller every Wednesday for knitting and reading.  My goal is to finish a book every 2 weeks but also try to complete at least one project a week.  As most knitters, quilters, crocheters, etc have many UFO's so do I.  What is crazy is many of them have less than 2 hours of work to complete the project.  What's up with that?

This week I am reading A Year on Ladybug Farm.  Bought it for $.50 at Goodwill.  For knitting I am making the ever popular ZickZack Scarf by Christy Kamm.  It is a fun knit, taking a bit longer than I expected but still fun and easy to do.  I am using Lang Mille Colori Baby yarn in colorway 06 and 16.  I almost wish I would have a little more contrast but it is working out for the most part how I wanted.

This next Christmas hopefully will be having a fully homemade Christmas.  The idea sounds probably better than the reality but hopefully if I get some things going now it an be reality.
