Yarn Along (And it's A Girl)

This is my first time joining Ginny for Yarn Along, but first I must tell you that we are grandparents again. After the false alarm last Thursday Mark's daughter gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They have named her Leah. We went to the hospital to visit her but in our haste forgot the camera, but photos were taken so as soon as we get copies I will post them!





At the moment I am knitting a little vest for a little someone that I'll tell you about very soon. The yarn that I'm using is this one .It feels like homespun but it's not and thanks to Amanda who gave me some advice on which size needle to use, it looks like it may be the right size. The pattern for the vest came from a blog long ago and I'm sorry I can't remember which one. If any one recognises it and can tell me where it came from I would be very grateful so that I can acknowledge them for it.

The book is The Fourfold Path to Healing by Thomas S. Cowan. The book looks at wholistic health practices inspired by the ideas of Rudolf Steiner. Steiner taught that the human has 4 bodies and we enjoy good health when these are in harmony. They are the physical body, the life force body,  the emotional body and the mental body.Each one reflects one aspect of our total being. The book looks at diet, meditation , movement and therapeutics.An interesting book !
This post was supposed to go yesterday but the photo just wouldn't download so here it is today just a little late
