Knitting Lace ~ Yarn Along

A post of my current read and what is cast on my needles ~ Inspired by Ginny over at {Small Things}

Shawl ~ Yarn Along

Let the fall knitting begin!
I'm so excited to join in with Ginny's yarn along again. With all of the chores that needed attention around here in the spring, sadly I had to put away my knitting needles but I've dusted them off and have cast on a little girl's shawl for my daughter :)

Knit Lace

I've been dying to try knitting some lace and the Little House Shawl pattern looks like it's going to be just the right size to see if it is going to be difficult. I have to say though that so far this is EASY!! The hardest part was casting on the 395 stitches without loosing count *grin*.

Our homeschool year is in full swing and I think I've finally found a rhythm that works for me and all three of my children as my youngest has joined us for kindergarten this year and I just love his exuberance each morning as he begs to get started :) I'm using Oak Meadow with him and we have been enjoying reading the Waldorf Alphabet by Famke Zonneveld and starting our own alphabet book together. Oh how I love starting kindergarten all over again :)

Can't wait to catch up with all of you again and see what's on your needles this week!

Hugs,
Rosina

    Ohh that yarn is absolutely lovely!! Your girl is so lucky =) I hear you on the cast on...that's why I like shawls that start with 3 stitches. And may I say that I just love your blog banner? So cute.

    What a fun shawl. I'll follow the link. My eldest has been dropping hints that she wants a shawl. Love the colours you are using. I'm knitting a lacey shawl at the moment. Having problems keeping the stitches from sliding off!

    I love the Alphabet book. We are currently using it for my first graders language arts block. So beautiful. Love the lace, have never tried it myself - yet!

    pretty colors! i want to homeschool ezra so much so we can do the waldorf alphabet together. maybe i should just do it now because he's so into his letters and we've begun an informal introduction to them. he just keeps begging me to go to school one day, so i think we'll have to let him try out kindergarten.

    Oh, that yarn is so vibrant and lovely - your little girl will feel like a princess in it. (Or a fairy or an adventurer or a super-hero, or whatever the imaginary-adventure-of-the-day calls for.)

    it can be so difficult to cast on that many stitches. sometimes i'll use a stitch markers, placing one every 100th stitch. your shawl looks lovely.

    Love the colors in that yarn! I haven't read the alphabet book, but I might need to put it on my reserve list for the library.
