I love how it's coming and can't wait to start stitching it up but feel that I should do more first with different yarns then I can sort out the pattern of colours. I may not be patient enough to do that though and just stitch it up as it is!<br />debby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-56670044610434081652014-06-19T10:45:08.721-07:002014-06-19T10:45:08.721-07:00I love illustrations from the 1960s, too.

Have you noticed the hot bubble gum pink...it's so vibrant. I love the simple contemporary graphic style of illustration on each page. I read Longfellow as a child but didn't really know much about the man until buying this book and felt compelled to do some more research. I had no idea that he was a contemporary of Tennyson or Hawthorne. I envy your house trip and wish I could come too. I hope you have a an amazing time. Hannah and I have plans to visit Keats House in Hampstead some time soon. Another romantic poet. We got rained off last time. <br />I have seen Karens sock yarn blanket and love it. Thankfully I had already starting making mine so don't have your dilemma. Although you I can never have too many blankets and this one is for Hannah...maybe I could have a go at the ten-stitch blanket next...<br />debxdebby emadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222092755385566586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136149811371784755.post-73255270142549065202014-06-18T23:55:01.055-07:002014-06-18T23:55:01.055-07:00Hi there.

Those illustrations would have caught my eye as well. My daughters and I are planning to visit the Wadsworh-Longfellow House in Portland, Maine in a couple of weeks. Amy became a Longfellow fan after she came across a lovely edition of his poetry in a used bookstore last winter. I really like the scrap yarn blanket you are knitting. Have you seen Karen's (of Pumpkin Sunrise)? She is using a different pattern. Now I can't decide which one I want to try--the mitered corner patchwork or the ten-stitch blanket. A happy dilemma, I think!
