Knitting: A Hap for Harriet by Kate Davies in Fyberspates Gleem Lace
This pattern is so darn addictive. One more point, just one more point. After the first couple of pattern repeats, it’s not difficult to follow, although it requires a little more attention than I’d normally give to my knitting. I suspect some less demanding Netflix watching in the future – especially as I’m doing this as a knitalong with the rather speedy Sharon of What I Made.
The yarn is Fyberspates Gleem Lace, which my Mum bought back from London last year (thanks Mum!). The stitch definition is amazing and the drape looks like it’s going to be just as good.
Reading: The Cabaret of Plants by Richard Mabey
I’m about to crawl into bed and crack the cover on The Cabaret of Plants. It was a Christmas present from my flatmates, who obviously know me well, because there’s not many things I like more than plant histories.
See what everyone else is knitting and reading over on the original Yarnalong.
adding that book to the 2017 list!!! hope it turns out as good as the title indicates!
Beautiful knit…I could just wrap up in it right now! The snowstorm outside makes it even more inviting!! Nice job
Strangely enough the lightness of the shawl makes it ideal for summer knitting!
That color is so pretty! I have never done a knit a long because I am so slow on my knitting. That book looks interesting! I haven’t really thought of plant history before, but I do love gardening.
Sharon will be finished this a good two weeks before I am – it’s more the planning and the casting on that we do together!
