Welcome back to another week of the yarnalong! This week I am still working on my cowl - and probably will be for quite a while. I think I have nine more inches to go before it is technically done. I'm not sure if I want it to be that bulky or not, and I might make it a little smaller.

I think that getting my head around what I want to accomplish in the next few months, as well as what my family is going to be doing is the main reason I needed that planning retreat.

Here we are for another yarn along! Last week I shared some yarn that I have that I really want to find a pattern for. I have still been unable to find a pattern that I like. I think part of the problem is that it is light worsted yarn, and most of my needles are for heavier weight yarn. Well, of course I have small needles as well, but they are all DPNs and I don't really … [Read more...] about knitting and reading
