Yarn Along: time-pressed soul food

Joining in with Ginny again, to share the weekly books and projects that are getting what scant attention this week allows.  I am feeling... scattered.  Pulled and stretched.  So this book is just perfectly right and fitting for my heart and soul, so hungry and tired.  I only wish I had more time for reading when I most need it.  Even daily devotions are being somewhat squeezed between exhaustion and unwanted busy-ness.

The scarf is my Saroyan, mustard yellow alpaca and silk; lovely watching the leaves form.  But yet another thing that isn't getting the attention it deserves.  I long for a day off to just knit and read, and I'm craving just an hour of silence.

I treated myself to this book: Cast On Bind Off.  It's perhaps not as comprehensive as I expected, implying as it does that there are *many* decorative bind-offs included where in fact there are a couple (do more exist, somewhere?) but overall...  It's a clear easy-to-use book with great pictures and lots of helpful detail.  I'm glad I got it.  Perhaps my expectations were a little too high, I don't know!


I also (apart from the baby hat and jumper that made it into other posts) knitted this, for my shop.  It's partway through getting its embellishments.  Morgan wants to keep it.  :)  Super soft light fine cotton.  :)
