I finished the pumpkin hats for my friend and her daughter! Hooray! Next up are some more baby hats — I plan to do some knitting later today for a friend’s baby boy. Details to follow next week…
I am continuing my chronological journey through the winners of the Newbery Medal with 1963′s winner, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. I am sure that I must have read this book when I was younger, but if I did, I’m afraid that I had forgotten how enchanting it is. The story focuses on Meg whose father, a physicist, has lost contact with his family. She and her extremely gifted younger brother, Charles Wallace, and her schoolmate Calvin wind up on a wholly unexpected journey through space and time to find her father and uncover the mysteries of a dark shadow in space. It is absorbing, and I am very much enjoying it.
This post is part of this week’s Yarn Along over at the lovely blog, Small Things. Visit over there to see some more yarn work and hear about some good reads.
Those hats are so cute! I think I really need to get my hands on some orange yarn to make some for the fall
The hats are super cute. And I do so enjoy your travels through the Newberry winners.
Those were some of my very favorite books as a child. They are still good, though some of the later ones in the series are less compelling. The pumpkin hats are adorable, too. Love the mother/daughter thing. Makes me wish I had done it before my daughter got big enough to wear some of my clothes.
