Wednesday's WiPs & Books {7/31}

I hope you're having a wonderful week.

I was able to sit down to do a little knitting and reading.

I am almost halfway through The Bookshop on the Bay by Pamela Kelley.

I am feeling the urge to start a cozy mystery.

I am thinking about Murder at the Lakeside Library by Holly Danvers.

I have been wanting to cast on a Little Garter Scarf by Nicole Enzinger (Professor Purl on YouTube).

I wanted to hold two strands of fingering weight yarn together on a 3.75mm needle,

though the pattern calls for a 4.0mm. All my 4.0mm needles are attached to other projects.

I first cast on with some deep stash, Knit Picks Hawthorne Fingering in Forest Park.

The fabric was too dense and it isn't the softest yarn to work with.

I am sure it blocks beautifully.

Another search of my stash and I found this lovely skein from Avalon Springs Farm

on the Pendragon Fingering base. The colorway name is The Gnome Home Tree.

It is just what I was looking for. This base has a very generous 555 yards.

I am hoping to be able to knit two scarves out of it.

I finished one of my Patriotic socks by Mint Rain Yarns.

I will be putting the project away until next July 1st, when I hope to knit the second sock.

I haven't been watching much this week. I need a good binge worthy show.

I would love any suggestions or recommendations.

I hope you will share all about your week, your works in progress,

and

what you have been reading and/or watching.

Happy Creating,

Angela
