Yarn Along :: Modern Lovers

Posted on September 28, 2016September 28, 2016 by Sonia Ruyts in books, Knitting, wips, Yarn Along

My knitting has been a little sparse lately. An irritated thumb and sore wrist have kept me from spending much time at the needles. And I've noticed the less I've been knitting, the less I feel like knitting...kind of a bummer given the season we're heading into! I did cast on a pair of … Continue reading Yarn Along :: Modern Lovers →

I raced through Eleanor & Park and loved it! Needing to stay in the vein of keeping my reading simple and not too dark, I checked the library for a book I keep hearing great things about. Imagine my delight when I found a copy of The Rosie Project straight away! Bonus: it came up … Continue reading Yarn Along :: Love & Linen →

Yarn Along :: Easy is Good

Posted on March 11, 2015September 25, 2016 by Sonia Ruyts in books, Knitting, Yarn Along

Leisure time is pretty unpredictable with a newborn around the house. Some days he sleeps the day away and not only do I enjoy luxuries like a shower and taking my time to eat, I get to knit. You know me: I need to knit like I need to sleep in order to feel somewhat … Continue reading Yarn Along :: Easy is Good →

And … Continue reading Yarn Along :: Just Keep Knitting →

Yarn Along :: keeping things simple

With the turn of the new year, and as I ready and wait for baby, I'm craving simplicity. I want (and need) for things to be slow, simple, and easy. My body is working very hard these days (38 weeks, whoa!), and my mind gets tired fast. I need simple forms of entertainment and activity … Continue reading Yarn Along :: keeping things simple →

I was craving a page turner and an addictive knit, and I sure got what I asked for! Last week I could not put down these rainbow leg warmers. Each stripe knit up so quickly, that it was easy to say "oh, I'll just keep knitting till I finish the next stripe." And on and … Continue reading Yarn Along →

I'm still working away faithfully on my blue Cassis cardigan. I'm pleased to say that I am now on the second sleeve so, with a couple more good knitting sessions, it should be off the needles this week! That sweater is big and heavy now, so I cast on a little pixie cap for a … Continue reading Yarn Along :: Kid Reads →
