Yarn Along

Knitting

I am currently knitting a snood for myself.

I tried a few patterns out, and ended up not liking them much.

This one, I am making up myself, I am really just keeping my fingers crossed,

since my knitting isnt 100% the best.

The yarn is acrylic (I wouldn't experiment with expensive wool),

and although the picture does not show it too well,

it is white with a sparkle in it. 

I figured the acrylic would be lighter for this time of year anyway.

(they are £1 for 1x50g ball or £2 for 3x50g balls from Poundland 

(they have a few colours, I bought the navy blue sparkly as well)

Reading

We are lucky enough to live in a nice little suburb with the beach at the end of our street, lots of little cafes, an Italian ice-cream shop and a castle. 

We are however part of a fairly large working class city

on Scotland's east coast.

I don't think we could live a life any further removed from the life

the Amish community lives.

 I find their whole lifestyle fascinating.

It helps that they live a very Christian life of course,

but that aside, the peaceful simple life still has an amazingly strong draw.

I am enjoying this book, but there is nothing startlingly new in it

If you are interested in the Amish lifestyle this film is good
