Yarn Along
30 Jan 2013
Reading: I am still plugging along on Wurthering Heights. I know I had mentioned it was a free download for Kindle, but did I mention I also found it as a free download at the iPad appstore? Look it up! I’ve been reading a chapter a night, when I can make it through without falling asleep. I am still very interested in the story, and find it hard to put down (even though most nights, I need to go to bed!) I’ve been researching which classic I should read next. Any suggestions?
Knitting: I am really enjoying the Twisted Rib Neckwarmer. The four row pattern is easy to memorize and has made it a great portable project. The Cascade 220 100% Merino Wool has been such a pleasure to work with. I just love Cascade. I am hoping to get some time to really knock through this cowl and hopefully finish it up in the next week or so.
What are you reading? Crafting? Any suggestions on classic books for me?
Joining Ginny!

I love the twisted rib stitch…so simple but so pretty to look at! I’m working on a sweater for my daughter with cascade and am reminded about how much I love this yarn! Stopping by from the Yarn along today. Have a lovely day!

Beautiful knitting!

Your work is lovely and Wuthering Heights is one of my all-time faves!! I also love Jane Austen, Alexandre Dumas (recommend The Count of Monte Cristo), and Somerset Maughm (recommend Of Human Bondage).

Beautiful project! Twisted stitches make for such an interesting variation. Gorgeous color choice as well!

I am drooling over your color of yarn, it is so pretty. My LYS will no longer be carrying Cascade, she is switching to Ella Rae, bummer.

I love wuthering heights one of my all time favorite classics full of angst. Oh Heathcliff… Great twisted rib!!!

Cascade 220 is my go-to yarn for sweaters. I love the color you picked.

The twisted rib is really looking good, I love the yarn color. Okay, for a Classic suggestion – If you’ve not read ‘Sense and Sensibility’ by Jane Austen I highly recommend it. If you have the Jane Eyre another one by Bronte.

Count me as another who loves the color you’ve chosen. It’s beautiful.

That yarn color is beautiful! Classics– Jane Eyre, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Good Earth, Giants in the Earth, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath… shall I go on? :) (English teacher!) Happy crafting.

Love the colour!
Have you read Jane Eyre? My all time favourite, and the book that started me toward feminist thinking. What about a modern classic like 1984 or Brave New World?

Gorgeous and the color is perfect :)
