I discovered this lovely blog by accident last week, thanks to one of Carole’s 10 on Tuesday participants.
Wednesday’s are for Yarn Along and it never ceases to amaze me how much good stuff lives on the internet that I do not know about!
All I can say is that you will find lots of good on Ginny’s blog if you poke around a bit. Her photography is so beautiful and inspiring.
I am hoping that Yarn Along will help me to get my knitting back on track, since the BangOutASweater phenomena has apparently derailed my knitting mojo. And by derailed I mean that all my current projects are in strong consideration for the Frog Pond because I have lost that loving feeling for every last one of them. In an attempt to avoid that rash decision, I have pulled out this long forgotten WIP in a Herculean effort to get it back on track. Anne Hanson is always good for what ails you, and if anyone can revive your knitting mojo, it is her! Wish me luck as I channel Anne today!
Fortunately, my weaving mojo is not waning at all. Yesterday, I finished weaving the scarf for the Miss Bab’s Weave Along. I just need to finish the fabric and twist the fringe. I hope to have photos for you later this week, that is, if the weather cooperates. Queue the Grey Days of Bad Lighting which make it difficult, at best, to take good photos.
My reading this week is focused around weaving – specifically overshot weaving. Now, for those of you familiar with Deborah Chandler’s book – you will note that I have skipped entirely over section two (Now That You Know The Basics) and have gone directly to part three (For Those Of You Who Know What You’re Doing.) And, please note, this is the LAST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK.
This will probably bite me in the ass, but when has that ever stopped me.
So tell me – what are you reading and knitting today?
Oh, I hear you on the grey days that make photography difficult. Right now I am reading The Year of Yes and I am knitting a Zick Zack Scarf.
Sometimes the best place for a WIP . . . is the Frog Pond. Just sayin. 🙂
hope you find the love with the long lost wip. I have trouble photographing in the winter around here, it gets dark fast and my house tends to be darkish…
Welcome to the yarn along! The color, even with the grey lighting, is lovely.
