The idea of the Small Things Yarn Along is to share what we are knitting or crocheting and what we are reading right now. I can't seem to find the time to do both along with farm work and all the hours I spend cooking and cleaning...um, okay, so mostly just farm work ;-)...but I will share that I'm "connecting with" knitting on Elizabeth's sweater and being mighty distracted by the latest issue of Spin-off, which I think may be the best issue I've ever read glanced through in the almost 10 years I've subscribed.
I can't wait for lunch. I can eat with one hand and turn pages with the other - a win/win. I could knit and eat at the same time...but that's not worked out so well for me in the past. How people read and knit at the same time...
A couple close ups.
The corgi photo bomb.
The longwools all got their "ears lowered" yesterday and Miss Maisie got a little trim too. Pictures tomorrow :-).

Beautiful start to a fabulous sweater!!
I agree that this SpinOff issue is a keeper! Great to read in bed after a not-so-gud day at work :-)
I don't know how people knit and read at the same time, either!
Loving the corgi photo bomb!
There seems to be a lot of color depth to Elizabeth's yarn. Beautiful!
The sweater looks beautiful. I love the corgi photo bomb :)
If you would drink a healthy drink at lunch using a long straw then you could multitask. Beautiful sweater.
This is gorgeous. I love that color!!
"I could knit and eat at the same time" -- milkshake? :-)
Love the sweater! (Though ... sweater? at this time of year? You've got more mental fortitude than I have. I can imagine it will be cold, someday, but I'm not sure I actually *believe* it.....)
Beautiful!!
of course glancing through spin-off counts as reading and knitting. I do it all the time (even though I have yet committed to becoming a real spinner).
Liz's yarn is so pretty.
I like that long straw idea .......
Can't wait to see finished sweater.
I think I sent a note to Spin Off that I was cancelling subscription .... too many magazines and I keep them all, so I figured out for now I have enough for my learning curve, well issue came today, where have these articles been all my life, finally something I can learn from.
what gorgeous yarn.....and a beautiful beginning to a sweater!!
Yeah, um, we are currently having the hottest weeks we've had all summer. While I'm knitting a wool sweater. The anti-Iknitarod I suppose ;-).
oh my I love the halo of that yarn!! Beautiful!. I can read and knit at the same time but the knitting has to be dead simple and the reading has to be on an ipad :)
Love that rich brown color. I've tried knitting and listening to an audio book, but my mind wanders and I lose the story line.
The yarn looks so lovely and soft...great autumnal colour too.
how to read and knit? audio books.
I recommend:
The Help and Let's Pretend this Never Happened and
The Hunger Games (1-3)
LOVE the Corgi photo bomb! and your sweater looks really nice!
:)
The knitting looks great , the color is super !
Love your bomber Corgi :)
You are really flying through that sweater. Can you knit while floating in the pool? Put the yarn in a Tupperware bowl and let it float around next to you :-0
I like the heart shape you made with the yarn. ;-)
Lovely yarn - cute heart shape, too! :) I agree it can be hard to find time to knit and read and keep up with the farm... full, busy days indeed. Have a great week!
Your knitting is beautiful. And it's most beautiful because of the sheep that provide the wool! I wish I could pop over for a cuppa with you, sit and knit, and catch up.
lovely! i wish i knew how to do that... but im still *cough* working on piecing a quilt together that i wanted to make for someones last years wedding... n
Sweater is Delicious! Yarn Along? more pressure? Think Betsy, yesterday :)
Maisie got trimmed.........wonder what she thought of that that's printable!!
Your sweater looks very warm and cozy. Beautiful.
