Can this really be the last Yarn Along of August? The past week we have had some cooler days and even cooler nights and I must say that I will miss summer but am so ready for fall! With that in mind I am looking forward to knitting up some new warm woolens for all of us!




This little poncho came together rather quickly after I finally found the right pattern! So easy and it called for fringe but I decided to add this seed stitch ruffle and then I carried the seed stitch around the hat edge as well. I am really happy with how it turned out and I think Hannah Grace will got a lot of wear out of this!

And my yarn arrived so I can finally finish my Rockefeller mystery shawl! Can't wait to get this off the needles and blocked!

We have dived back in to homeschooling this week and so my reading has been limited to children's books and lesson plans.....it's been a good week so far and we are establishing a new rhythm.

So what is everyone knitting this week? I can't wait to browse through Ginny's links and see what everyone is up too!! Join me....Yarn Along

I'm still plugging away on the Rockefeller mystery shawl. I finished clue 3 yesterday and now am waiting for clue 4 to be revealed on Friday. This has been a lot of fun and I can not wait to see where this 4th and final clue takes this shawl! Next week I should have a finished shawl to show you! This weeks clue ended in an icord bind off....something I never did before......but I really love the clean finish it gives and I know I will use it again! Ravelry notes





In between the clues for the shawl I cast on for a poncho for Hannah Grace. I have been wanting to make her one for the upcoming fall and have been searching the patterns on Ravelry but nothing really caught my eye. I decided to use this pattern for the Poppy Poncho as my starting point and I am making some changes along the way......I had originally started using this yarn for a blanket but decided it would make a great poncho! It's soft and squishy and will be warm on brisk fall days! I am done with the yoke and have started the cape part in stockinette......easy knitting for sitting poolside! Ravelry notes

I just downloaded the God's Smuggler onto my iphone so I can listen as I knit, I hope to get some listening in today. Joining Ginny at the Yarn Along today! Happy Knitting!!!
