Happy Wednesday at the Yarn Along!!
{a bit of strangness here actually, a day i’ll never forget..but we won’t go into that}
More importantly , the knitting ! I am casting on my beloved MadelineTosh Vintage Thunderstorm for Veera’s newest cardigan , and I love love love it.
I am reading ! Actually reading a book reading ! It is called The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It is far from a happy book, and I do hope it takes some type of magical ephiponal turn for the better soon.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter break. xx
It’s often hard to see the pattern in dark colors, but that one shows up nicely. Very lovely!
Posted by Joy | April 4, 2012, 10:40 amI give you credit for reading that book. I happened to see a preview for the movie when it came out and was slightly aghast that it was made into a movie. I don’t think that I could make it through the book though. I hope it turns out well.
Posted by Heather | April 4, 2012, 10:51 ama friend up here loaned it to me saying it was her ‘favourite’ book. i had no idea what it was until i started reading it. my favourite book is walden pond !! all happy and enlightening .. :/
Posted by ohangelina | April 4, 2012, 10:57 amI read that book ages ago. I did enjoy it, though I’m not sure you’ll get your turn for the better anytime soon.
Posted by Greer | April 4, 2012, 11:31 amI’ve heard about the book and movie, but have neither read it nor seen it. I do plan on doing both though…
The cardigan is going to be lovely, it’s a great pattern.
Posted by Anke | April 4, 2012, 12:44 pmI read the book ages ago and I think I enjoyed it too – but I didn’t see the film. Happy films are my cup of tea.
Your knitting looks lovely!
Posted by stitchandpurl | April 4, 2012, 2:15 pmYour knitting is so pretty, I don’t know if I could read the book after I saw what the movie was about (I couldn’t watch that either – call me chicken).
Posted by Donna | April 4, 2012, 3:23 pmagreed – i’d never want t o see this on film :((
Posted by ohangelina | April 4, 2012, 4:23 pmBeautiful project! I love madtosh anything :) I think the lace really stands out with the darker yarn, so very lovely :)
Posted by swanski | April 4, 2012, 3:26 pmThe pattern is so pretty and of course, the yarn is wonderful! Anything MT is great. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Posted by Amy {A Faithful Journey} | April 4, 2012, 7:52 pmThat cardi is going to be simply lovely! Have fun knitting it over Easter…
Posted by Jen Letts | April 4, 2012, 9:02 pmNot sure I can cope with a sad story, but I’ll wait to see how you find it. Nice choice on the darker yarn. Prefer it to the lighter colour in the pattern picture.
Posted by Cheryl | April 4, 2012, 9:36 pmThe design is very pretty.
I used to read a lot of scary book… I think I’m too sensible for that and I’m more into a fantastical genre phase.
Posted by Andréann | April 4, 2012, 11:33 pmwill be a gorgeous cardi, especially in that black tosh! I saw the movie and it was eerie but quite good

Posted by karenatbarefeetandafreespirit | April 5, 2012, 3:49 amBeautiful knitting — what a gorgeous cardigan that will make! A friend recommended that same book to me — I’ll be interested to hear how you like it after you’ve finished it. I haven’t read it, myself.
