~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~
I indulged in a hysterical amount of casting on this week. I can’t say it soothed my nerves. Thankfully, I finished something as well (the Oaklet Shawl.) I read Memoirs Of A Reluctant Servant
Yes, those yarns are super pretty.
I love a good yarn shot! Great colors!
Oh yes, those colors are wonderful together 🙂
How very exhiting to plan a trip to Liberia. My sons dad is from Uganda and we too are planning to go there in the next year or so, if money, passports, asylum procedures etc are in favor… so so very nervous about it!
Wow how ambitious ! Love the colors, cant wait to see what you make 🙂
Thanks for hosting!
I really love your yarn colors!
What a great color assortment; nice photo. Your shawl from yesterday is amazing, and I’m rethinking my shawl pattern for that one. I just love hte edge detail. You did a wonderful job.
Those are some pretty colors. I can’t have more than one or two projects going on at once.
Thanks for hosting. Beautiful green yarn.
Enjoy your day!
Thanks for hosting this, Ginny.
Looking forward to seeing what you’ll make with that beautiful yarn. Love that dark green. 🙂
Beautiful photo! I can’t wait to see what you’re working on.
I also love all your blue and green there. I am always amazed by how much you get done each week! My post this week was showing off what I was excited about having worked on…much less!
I get bouts of cast-on-itis once in a while. I go with it, finish eventually, and start again!
Pretty, pretty. Love the colors.
Hi Ginny, I am actually not one of the last ones on here this week! Got my post done last night lol!
I am so blessed by your website and I love Yarn Along-it makes me keep working on projects just so I can post them! Trouble is I spend way too much time looking at all the lovely projects! Thanks Ginny and blessings from Alberta Canada!

I love the photo of all the yarn … great colors!!!
Seriously, Wednesdays keep me motivated to actually work on something, but then I spend too much time on Wednesdays looking at everyone’s great stuff and adding WAY TOO many books to my list on Goodreads.
It’s about time I give the interlibrary loan program a little rest and actually do something, but darn it, I’m in the middle of two series and want to finish them both. Ok, that’s the plan, after I get done with the books I just got yesterday (grin) I will only get the books to finish those two series and then call it quits for awhile.
I have too much else to work on right now.
Sorry to hear that the start of the week was tough. Family, love, and beautiful yarn are good comforts.
Oh, that photo is gorgeous; I can see why you wanted to leave the book out.
What a lovely pile of yarn!
Thank you Ginny!
I also wanted to tell you how much I loved the shawl in the prior post- beautiful color and pattern.
Looking forward to seeing what projects you are making with that beautiful yarn!
The colors are fantastic!!! Did I miss something? What projects are you casting on? I have so many different projects in the works, but I’m ok with that. I like to bounce between them … prevents boredom.
I just ordered some yarn for that beautiful oaklet shawl, thanks for the inspiration. I too have been doing crazy amounts of casting on!
Gorgeous colors! Thanks for hosting. 🙂
I’m really loving the depth of color in the forest green!
I’m such a fan of your oaklet shawl — it’s so beautiful — and I’m loving the colors and yarniness of your photo!
You’re right, the picture would be totally different with a book in it! I love the colors and the way the needles interact with the yarn – great shot!
Very pretty yarn! I look forward to seeing it all knit up
I just love the colours!
Gorgeous photo. That is a lot of casting on, looking forward to seeing what it all turns out to be 🙂
I think casting on helps soothe our souls. You have certainly cast on some soothing colors with all of those blues and greens. Sending hugs across cyberspace.
That is a crazy-lot of COs! But the picture is gorgeous (and would make cool note cards)! Hugs.
Wow. That *is* a lot of casting on. I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one who does that…
Gorgeous bunch of yarn you’ve got there. I can’t wait to see how it all shapes up. 🙂 xo
What a lovely photo Ginny. So many fresh starts 🙂 x
I love the green and turquoise yarns in particular!
Sometimes it is good to have lots of projects on the go 🙂
Lovely yarns! Blues and greens are what I tend to favor.
I’ve tried a few times to enter my link but it’s not showing up 🙁

Like ocean and garden. Lovely colors and lots of knitting in the future.
Lots of lovely yarn in your photo. Can’t wait to see the finished projects. Jacinta
Lots of yummy yarns–the colors are wonderful and the light coming in is makes it all truly artistic. I can’t wait to find out what you have cast on. Thanks for hosting each week–it sure does brighten up my week!
Okay, Ginny, here’s an idea for you: a big, glossy, 12-month knitting calender with your beautiful yarn photos. My gosh, my heart beats a bit faster looking at all those beautiful balls of potential!
I have the February Lady Sweater cast on and started, but after looking at your Oaklet shawl, you have me thinking about starting one of those for my mom’s birthday in September…
That is some mighty pretty yarn!
I find doing anything craft related calms me down, when things get hectic.
I’m not doing too much light reading, it’s been busy, but I’ve managed to read a few passages from Coraline. I’ve read parts of that book many times, but it’s nice to read it again. My daughter is reading it too, since I’m also making an amigurumi Coraline.
I agree the colours of the yarns do look beautiful together…
I hope you do manage to visit Liberia…it would be wonderful if the whole family could go…what an amazing adventure!
lovely colors… i can’t get enough of those blue/greens, either.
You have had a lot going on in your heart and mind this week. I think casting on is wonderful if it provides some comfort. And the yarn does look pretty. A trip to his birthplace would be a great gift to Gabe. And you would also get a chance to go. I know Jonny went initially when Gabe became part of your family. Would everyone go or just you two?
sublime photo x
What a beautiful photo Ginny !
I love casting on new projects, it’s the best therapy for whatever ails you. Lovely yarns and now you have lots to blog about in terms of projects 🙂
It’s a beautiful pile of yarn!
