Practice Yarn Along

After we have a bit more content on this blog, I plan to link to Ginny's yarn along on some Wednesdays, so here's a practice run.

This is my second granny stripe blanket made from Lucy's Pattern.

The yarn is Caron's simply soft and the colors are Nathan's favorite (according to Nuka).  It has a nice heft to it for a blanket (very warm) and will hold up in the wash. 

The book is one of the Swallow's and Amazons series, and is our current Mama-read-aloud (Papa is reading Tom Sawyer in the evenings).  It is the second time aloud for me, but the girls don't remember it from the first read-through with younger boys.  It sure brings out the adventure-lust in our offspring!
