Yarn Along {Three}

I'm back on track and linking up with Ginny's Yarn Along. Its a bunch of fellow needle workers compiling their projects and what they're reading that week.

As for me, I am making progress on those socks! I got tired of working on the cuff, so its shorter than the pattern says, but I really don't think it'll make that much of a difference. Have I mentioned how much I love self striping yarn? Ellie asks me every day if she can see my sock, and being the great and "supportive" kid that she is always tells me what a great job I'm doing.

As for what I'm reading, I'm kinda all over the place. I've got a few pregnancy books keeping me occupied, but the one I'm reading the most frequently would Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn by Penny Simkin (P.T), Janet Whalley (R.N., B.S.N), and Ann Keppler (R.N., M.N.). A friend loaned the book to me and I'm gathering lots of information. It helps that its not "hard" to read.

That's it for this yarn along. I do believe I'll be able to update with more of my sock project and possibly a blanket that's been on hold for dang near close to ever. Okay, that's a little bit of an exaggeration. I started it close to the beginning of last year, but that seems like forever ago!

I hope you enjoyed my yarn along and you should take a look at what's going over at Ginny's!

  1. My sock cuffs are always shorter than the pattern - I get so sick of ribbing that I just stop the cuff when I can't take it any more!

    Love the self striping yarn :)

  3. Lovely socks :) Congrats on your pregnancy...we're due with #4 in October and I'm feeling a bit guilty that I have yet to pick up a pregnancy book. When my girls go back to school and I just have a toddler at home, I'm looking forward to preparing for our new one!

  4. Beautiful sock so far! I also love self-striping yarn. I'm knitting a pair of socks for my husband right now and he prefers longer cuffs, but when I knit a pair for me, I'm going with a short cuff all the way! I'm not a fan of the K1P1 alternation! How sweet, too, that you have your daughter cheering your on. My daughter is also a great encourager and loves to see what I'm working on.
