A knitter only appears to be
knitting yarn. Also being knitted
are winks, mischief, sighs, fragrant
possibilities, wild dreams.

Knitting this week has taken
a little detour, while I am
still knitting away on my
sweater for Emerson, I
cast on and off a little bird
that I think will make a
fun Christmas ornament.
The pattern is offered free
on Ravelry, it's super easy,
quick and the end result
is, I think, pretty cute.
I am reading one of the
best books, The Goldfinch.
I have just begun Part II
and while I am trying to
take it slow, you know,
to make it last, I find myself
sitting longer and longer
soaking in the words that
Donna Tartt has so amazingly
arranged on paper. I have
added The Goldfinch to
my top 20 list of favorite
books.
Joining with Ginny.
Oh that feeling of make the book last longer so I can savor it but hurry up so I can find out what happens, the best feeling in the world!! The bird is cute and would make a lovely stocking stuffer. Emerson is going to love that sweater :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to read the book slowly, too, so it'll last. Donna Tartt is such a wonderful writer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little birdie, Tracey. Were you lucky enough to happen upon those perfect branch feet or did you make them?
ReplyDeleteThank you Courtney. I made the feet from the branches of my Tea Olive Bush.
DeleteThank you for the book idea. Sounds so good!!! And I've made a little bird too. It's so fun to knit animals! Happy Knitting and Reading.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that sweet little bird. So cute!
ReplyDeleteWell, hello, little guy! He's adorable, Tracey! I'm off to check on that book... You're making it even harder to want to read my book club selection with a review like that!

ReplyDeleteIf only your knitting could talk about the sights, smells, and sounds they hear.
