YARN ALONG

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Linking with Ginny

I finished my second sock late yesterday evening.

I had the thirteen year old  [who is thankfully

starting to feel better]  try them on and he

agrees they are a good fit, but a little

hot. I knew wool socks in July wouldn't

pair well together, but I'm hopeful in

January the socks will feel perfect. 

I have been browsing Ravelry and think

I am going to cast on this for my next project.

I have some grey alpaca in my stash that

will work nicely and it will save me a trip

to the yarn store.

I am almost done with reading

The Dirty Life and while I am

enjoying it, I do wish the author

had written a little more of the

joy's of farming and having animals

instead of so much 'sad' stuff.

I do not wear 'rose colored glasses'

against the realities of life on

the farm, but I do know there

are also a lot of joys to be

to be had too.  I felt like the

author could have included

a lot more of the happy times;

maybe I just haven't reached that

part yet or my experiences have

been drastically different.

What are you reading and knitting this week?
