I had designed plans to throw the completed alpaca wrap across my shoulders and photograph in order to make record of the finished project, but alas, I procrastinated in getting on with the blocking of this rather huge wrap. But it is now in the process of being blocked, taking days because of its size and the limitations of space.
As do most knitters, I try to always keep a simple carry-along project. Back in January I was in need of casting on a simple stockinette "mindless" knitting project. This Folded Poncho by Churchmouse Classics was faultless for such knitting, and will be fun to wear during the cooler months. I am knitting it in Melbourne Woolens Scout yarn, having chosen the Moss Heather color way. The green displayed in the photo is rather accurate in catching its true color.
My son, Alan, gave me this copy of St. Augustine's, The Confessions several years ago. It was chosen as part of my 2020 Reading Challenge; I highly recommend this translation by Maria Boulding. I read a section of this book daily appreciating the richness of this spiritual classic, a fascinating autobiography of St. Augustine of Hippo.
I am a few days late in joining with Ginny's Yarn Along, as things might run aberrant these days, we can also be thankful we are knitters and readers.
