Yarn Along


I started a new book this week!  Anne's House of Dreams which is book number five in the Anne of Green Gable series.  Anne is now finally married (took her long enough!) and she is living in a new town with of course more neighbors and friends to interact with.  I have been thoroughly enjoying re-reading this series and remembering the plots as they occur.  It is a wonderful trip down memory lane.

For knitting I have been working on my tea leaves cardigan.  I am loving every stitch of the project!  The yarn ella rae classic is perfect.  It has spring and bounce and just enough elasticity.  I have finished the increases for the yoke and now just need to complete the stockinette portion until I get to the armholes.  I will be dividing up the sleeves and body.

The weather here has changed for the better.  There is a crisp feeling in the evening that was missing two weeks ago.  The sun is setting a little earlier each evening and it just feels different.  I know if we do get a heat wave it will most likely be over quicker than usual.  Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  I am more than ready for scarf, sweater, and mitt wearing.

  4. Thanks for stopping by my YA page - I love the name of your blog BTW. (but am very envious of your "fall" - or autumn as I call it. I miss seasons so much). I look forward to exploring your blog some more!

  6. Love that mustardy color of your tea leaves. And so many bloggers have mentioned Anne recently (we rub off on one another, right?) that I'm thinking that I must (in my spare time :)) start rereading (and reading for the first time) the entire series. Which Anne book has been your favorite so far?

  16. Just the idea of Autumn, puts me in a happier mood. Why we are having summer weather NOW...after 3 months without any...is beyond me! But, I know it can't last for long! Ahoy knitting season!!

  18. I love that pattern. What a beautiful color for it! I always wanted to make myself one of those in some shimmery pecan color.

    That book in the series was always my sister's favorite (besides the first one, of course!) I hope you enjoy it.

  20. Ah fall! I love the gorgeous hues of bright orange, vibrant red and brilliant gold. Looks like the cardigan will be very pretty when finished.

    I have only read Anne of Green Gables, but would love to read some of the other books in the series.

  27. Fall is my favorite time of year, too, although I'm not quite ready for it yet, as we haven't had much of a summer. I never tire of the Anne books. I'd love to knit a Tea Leaves sometime soon!

  29. I discovered Anne of Green Gables about 25 years ago (and I am really old now). My SIL grew up with the books and mentioned them to me. I think I read them all. I actually donated the series to a book drive held by or local paper a few years later and asked that the series not be broken up.
    I am also knitting a sweater in Ella Rae, Polar Cap Cardi. It's zz'ing for a bit as it's too warm her (CA) to work on it (I'm almost done and it's to bulky to have on my lap).
