I must confess the last time I posted with Yarn Along... I didn't finish my project. (Shh, don 't tell!) Not that anyone cares, lol! I'm a beginning knitter and I tackled a project that was too hard for me. (From a kid's knitting book!) Ah, well. This time I'm sticking to what I know. I'm making a cell phone case. I'll finish knitting this then felt it and sew it together. I made one a few years ago for my Mom and a friend and always meant to make one for myself and never have.
I'm reading my second grade curriculum, A Journey Through Waldorf Homeschooling Grade 2. I'm starting to get revved up to plan. I'll soon be joining Melisa's Thinking, Feeling, Willing program and can't wait! I'm sure it will get me inspired and I know I'll learn so much.
Also, we're reading the Little House series over again. My son Michael, loves it more then ever and little Owen loves to look at the pictures. This week we rented the Little House on the Prairie Disney dvd series. I love watching it and knitting while the kiddos sleep at night. It's been my little get away. I have to say there is much about this series that I really dislike. Like Laura & Mary do not wear bonnets!? Caroline very rarely has her hair up. Don't even get me started on how they dramatized the wolf & cat scenes. However it does a lovely job of catching the spirit of Pa & Laura's wanderlust as well as Charles & Caroline's love for one another. Not to mention the hardships & beauty of Pioneer life as well as the plight and clash between the Pioneer & native peoples. Anyway, I've found it a fun watch based on it's own merits.
So reading about & watching Pioneer times while I knit a cell phone case? Ironic? What are you knitting & reading?

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to read your honest post about knitting, and that I'm not the only beginner knitter in this circle we follow! I don't even have the courage to join so your a step ahead of me!

That's a lovely cell phone case! Don't worry about not finishing your project... happens all the time around here! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat cell phone case. Having a go is more important than finishing. I haven't tried the felting thing though I keep saying I will.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy watching and reading about a different time.
