Yarn Along

I am joining Ginny for another Yarn Along this week -- a picture of our current read with our current fibre-related project.


The boys and I have moved on to our second Roald Dahl book.  The first was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and they loved it.  I picked this book up at a used book store about a month ago.  It's the story of a boy and his father and  their big adventure together.  The big adventure is perhaps a little dated in that it is about poaching pheasants from a nearby wood but the story itself is wonderful.  So much of it is just about the daily life of this father and son and their beautiful relationship.  The boys are quickly becoming Roald Dahl fans, as am I.

Just off the needles and out of the washing machine are what I believe to be the cutest little slippers ever.  Okay, this might be a slight exaggeration since they don't have bunny ears or anything like that but they are still pretty cute.


See?  They fit in the palm of my hand .  That makes them pretty cute.  Oh, and the cuff seen in the above photo is from the lovely Amy.  She used vintage feedsack for this cuff and it has a wonderful feel to it.  Thanks, Amy!
