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.

Before I became completely
congested and unable to breathe,
I did cast on the Ladawan's Shawl
I mentioned last week. The pattern
is very easy to follow and I have
learned how  to M1 and soon will
learn how to knit in the front and back.
I am trying very hard to get
out of the comfort zone I have
been in with my knitting. I want
and need to challenge myself
if I wish to improve this knitting
craft that I have come to love
so much. I am enjoying the
yarn I chose for this project
and how easy it moves on
the needles. The color, grey,
seems to be my new black
that I wear during the winter and
I love how I can pair it with other
colors, especially red.

I am reading a total
fluff book and enjoying
it with no apologizes. I
have been reading Janet
Evanovich every summer
for years and with each
new book it's like visiting
with an old friend.  The
Stephanie Plum Series makes
me laugh out loud which is
always nice and the books
are a very quick read so
I can get to the home school
lessons that always are waiting
for me at this time of year. It's
like a little reading vacation
before getting back to work.
