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 am still working on my
pot holder,  but I am also
trying very hard to finish
this cardi that I started
in March. It has been sitting
in my knitting basket incomplete
and I am a person who really
dislikes not finishing something.
I'm still not digging the yarn, but
I am going to finish this cardi
before I begin anything else.
[pinky swear].

I have been reading
Unbroken on the kindle
and although it isn't my usual
reading material I am learning
quite a bit about Louie Zamperini
and more than I ever wanted
to know about B-24's. I am
trying very hard to keep
ahead of a thirteen year old
that reads more than his sister
and brother's ever did [and that
is saying something for this
homeschooling family].xx

PS: Have you seen this?
       I think we all should have one!

    Ooh that green is so lovely. Can't wait to see the completed project. I just finished "The Ceareal Muders" by Diane Mott Davidson - which was a fun little read. And now I'm looking for something new... think I'll follow your link for some suggestions :)

    That is lovely yarn. Is it hemp? Looks just like some that I made St. Patricks Day potholders out of. that clock would be a time suck...just sitting and watching. I would love it!

    What a beautiful color! Hooray for voracious teenage readers. Obviously they all had a wonderful model to follow. I had an insatiable appetite for reading too as a kid. My kids aren't old enough yet for me to tell if they will be one of those, but secretly I keep my fingers crossed.

    Oh my! That clock is hysterical! I need one! That color green is lovely, sorry you're not liking the yarn, I know what a bummer it is to dislike yarn you are knitting with.

    Oh my goodness, that is a crazy clock! I think it's brilliant.

    Now if only it would do cardigans you'd be happy?

    Blessings, Debbie

    I am with you in solidarity on finishing a cardigan! I would race you but it would stress me out ;) Seriously, your knitting is lovely!

    You can finish! It took me a little over a year to finish my cardigan, and it just took me feeling sick of staring at it in its bag that motivated me! And that clock is amazing.

    Love the clock.
    I have three pair of cuff-down socks and one pair of toe-up sock on needles and am working actively on all four pair.
    However, I am casting on another cuff-down pair right now.

    Love it that you're pre-reading books for your kiddos! Been wondering about doing that myself - that is, if we're fortunate enough to have a reader...so far it's not looking promising :-(
