Yarn Along 5 - 27

 I spent today with my oldest daughter, going out to lunch and then she took me to a yarn shop that she had taken notice of and thought I would like to go check out. 
I couldn't resist coming home with a new project 



Love the look of this scarf and the yarn is a cashmere, merino and nylon blend, the feel and drape is wonderful.
And they had this vest on display which I also love. 
It's a free pattern on raverly

But for now I'm working those facial pads and spa washcloths 



I have done very little reading on my Kindle. I have been reading Far from the Madding Crowd. Haven't made it very far, so I don't have any opinion yet.


Far From the Madding Crowd (1874) is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. It originally appeared anonymously as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained a wide readership. Critical notices were plentiful and mostly positive. Hardy revised the text extensively for the 1895 edition and made further changes for the 1901 edition

  2. I think so too. The yarn they used was worst weight and was so soft to the feel. I think it was 100% merino

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It came from a shop in Texas,...
