Yarn Along 2

Joining Ginny of "Small things" Blog again on her Yarn Along



Reading to the girls from "Bunchy" by Joyce L Brisley. A collection of lovely stories all based on a little girl who lives with her Grandmother and who entertains herself with simple objects and a great imagination... by the Author of the Milly Molly Mandy stories these stories are glimpses of a simpler life.

My read is Craft hope an inspiring collection of ideas of things to make for others.

The knitting is a cotton wash cloth in a simple stocking stitch/purl stitch checkerboard pattern ...simple, pretty and not a strain for my brain :0).

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
