Yarn Along


Reading: The War That Saved My Life, by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. This is a middle grade novel about a young girl and her brother who leave their abusive mother to go stay in the English countryside during the Blitz. I'm enjoying it so far...there's a bit of a different twist to it than the usual evacuee story.

Knitting: My Marion cardigan. I needed a navy cropped cardigan to wear over dresses, so that's what I'm knitting. I'm almost through with the body, so it's finally starting to look like a sweater! :) Then I'll just have the sleeves and button band/neckband left.

    1. Yes! Practical knitting isn't always the most exciting, but it's good to know the finished object will be worn a lot. :)
