Today’s Yarnalong pic is bought to you by the floor of Kate’s bedroom, because it’s too hot to be outside for more than two minutes.
Knitting: Cria by Ysolda Teague in Bendigo 5 ply Classic
After a little while on the backburner, Cria has returned! I cast off early, thinking that I was going to run out of yarn, and created more of a bolero. But then I realised I had about 80g of yarn left, so I ripped back the garter stitch band at the bottom, placed this yarn aside so I know how much I’ll use and will just knit until I run out of yarn.
Reading: The Light Between Oceans by M.L Stedman
A Christmas gift from my stepmother (because I like lighthouses and it’s about a couple that live in a lighthouse). Eight chapters in and it’s a sweet little love story – but the cover blurb assures me it’s going to get sad soon.
Listening: In Our Time by Melvyn Bragg
It feels like I haven’t listened to podcasts in ages, so I started catching up again with a couple of In Our Time episodes. One on Tristan and Iseult and another on Chinese legalism.
See what everyone else is knitting/reading/listening to over on the original Yarnalong.

Your Cria looks beautiful! I love the color!
And, I have to tell you, I read your first sentence, very funny, but the hot part through me for a loop, until I read your bio! Then it made sense! Lol
I have your book on my list, but I definitely have to be in the mood for a sad love story.
Thanks Christina, it’s my favourite colour to knit with. It’s kind of funny how many things I’ve made in deminy blue.
the cria is very pretty! can’t wait to see how yours turn out. I’ve started my very first big project….the Maude cardigan by Quince and Co. fingers crossed I can do it! have a great week and stay cool!J
Thanks Jeanette. Best of luck with the Maude – it looks super stylish, yet so comfortable!
