Joining Ginny’s yarn along again today.
When the knitting gets tough, I tend to stitch with well read books that don’t really need a lot of thought, even when I’m not knitting, because the knitting tends to stick in my mind. Timeline is one such classic.
Im working on a hat for Miss Mess, supposedly for Christmas, but I’m not sure I’m going to be able to wait that long. I’m pretty sure double knitting is magic, by the way. I was very dubious, but it’s not as hard as I thought it would be. I’m using Quince and Co’s Chickadee and love it, it’s soft and springy, but feels like it will be long wearing too.
Podcasts aren’t really apart of the yarn along, but they are mainly what I listen to while I knit or sew. I’m currently working through Jane Eyre with Craft Lit and really enjoying it.
Oh double knitting is something I’d like to learn, yours looks gorgeous.

It really was not as hard as I thought it would be. This video helped a lot. http://verypink.com/2011/06/08/double-knitting/

Thank you for the link to the Craft Lit. I checked it out, but it deserves more time for really exploring. Can’t wait to look into it more. And, by the way… I think it totally counts for what you’re reading and to post with your Yarn Along. 🙂 Thanks again for sharing it.

It’s a wonderful site! There is a sister site too, just the books, if you don’t want all the crafty chatter. But I love it.
