Yarn Along

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading and I love sharing my projects and current reads here. I would love for you to join me every Wednesday to share a single photo of what you are knitting (or crocheting) and reading too! Share your photo on your blog, on Instagram (#yarnalong), or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us!~

I read The Knitter’s Book of Yarn over the last couple of weeks.  I’ve had it for years, but have mostly just skimmed the pages, reading bits here and there.  I actually read everything but the patterns this week!

I’m knitting a Nurmilintu shawl in my goldenrod dyed yarn.  Olive green is one of my favorite colors so I’m really happy about this project.

    That olive will be perfect with the tree-like lace pattern in the shawl! I loved the goldenrod yarns you had in the latest batch- sadly, grad school doesn’t leave much spending money for yarn!

    Your book sounds interesting and one I think all knitters could enjoy.
    Oh, I love olive green too. Happy knitting.

    I love when you tell us what plant you used to dye the color you get, it seems mystifying that golden rod yields to a green…

    Now I’m off to see what that pattern is…
