I do appreciate Ginny with her monthly yarn alongs providing a safe place for us to share our knitting projects and current reading materials. I had been looking forward to reading this child's novel since I chose it for my 2020 Reading Challenge. You might recognize the author's name as the author of Heidi. I found this treasure at a library book sale some time ago, its pages yellowed and worn with age, but you can not fail to note the quality in its original form; the story of Cornelli has a semblance to Heidi, so how could it not be an enjoyable read?

June Yarn Along
I am not knitting anything new these days. But I am spending time in the gardens absorbed in happy industry and calm puttering, spending time walking, spending time praying, and spending time reading good books. When one considers the extremely concerning turmoil of these present times, the fact that I was able to don the heavy woolen knitted shawl one recent morning because of the chilly temperatures to the sudden calescent temperatures of these past two days is nothing surprising. The blocking of this shawl was a booger, because of its length and weight. I decided to use my guest bathroom for blocking it and it took several weeks due to the smaller space. But finally it was blocked and packed away into the cedar chest, until it was cheerfully unleashed earlier this week for soothing warmth.

What a beautiful old book. I can never resist a vintage book. There are so many wonderful books that are out of print but shoud still be read and appreciated. Your shawl is gorgeous.
Oh my! Your shawl looks so snuggly and cozy! It would certainly be a good one to wrap up in on those cool mornings while having a cup of coffee on the porch. And that book! I love old, well loved books.
Beautiful knitting. These are certainly concerning times of turmoil! I hope your garden is bringing you a place to breathe deep and find joy. I have never heard of your new book, though I do remember Heidi. Sounds like a good read!!
