the yarn from my frogged saco stripes tank (quince and co's sparrow) is now being used to make a nangou shawl. so, i am really not a fan of knitting with linen, but i hope that it will work up as a nice shawl. a had this book on my list for a while, and it turns out my mum owns a copy. i like it very much. simona and i visted guernsey at the end of the 1980ies with our parents, and we all loved it there! i wish we could return one day...
joining ginny's yarn along. what are you knitting and reading this week?

My mom has that book too and I should borrow it!
On of my all time favorite books. I am now reading The Truth According to Us and am loving it too.
Linen is hard to work with isn't it, but once it's soaked it is nice.
Have fun.
Cute colours together, lovely, never knitted with linen
Happy knitting xx
I hope you like the shawl with that linen, fingers crossed, I don't care to knit with it either, wool is springy and wonderful, right?
That book is on my list to read. I have never knit with linen. I hope it works in your shawl. The colors are pretty.
I really need to read this book. I've never heard a bad review of it! I even own it, so really...it shouldn't be that hard to open it and give it a go.
Oooh, I love everything about this photo! The colors, the light.
Would love to see the finished shawl. Linen is challenging.
