An Almost-Thanksgiving Yarn Along

Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for yet another yarn along. We are in Texas visiting my husband's family. I was certain we would be doing copious amounts of sitting around and so I brought several books to read and a (very) LOT of yarn to be knit. Just like my home life though, things come up, babies need attention, and what seems like a day with no plans turns into a fun, yet exhausting, day with little time to myself. I did manage to finish up 1Q84 and started reading Shanghai Girls by Lisa See for my mama's book club. Quite a bit different than the surreal 1Q84, but so far I am liking it.
I have managed to make a bit of progress on Phoebe's dufflecoat. I finished up the back panel and am about halfway through one of the front panels. I thought that I would for sure finish the sweater while I was here and now I will be surprised if I even make it halfway through. Isn't that how it always is though?
Stop on by Small Things to see what others are reading and knitting this week! Pin It Now!

    Yes, I know what you are saying about time. I had plans for lots of knitting this weekend and I am now realizing it's not going to happen. That's ok, there will be lots of family togetherness! Happy Thanksgiving.

    I'm the same way - when I go away, I always take lots of yarn, and seem to have less knitting time than usual, instead of more! :)
