Wow! Where has the past week gone? It's already time for another yarn along? Joining in with Ginny at Small Things to share what I am knitting and reading.
I am still working on Phoebe's dufflecoat, which is going much slower than I anticipated. I think it is because I have been doing a lot of sewing lately, which hasn't left much time for knitting. I also just cast on for Phoebe' felted stocking. I made Finn a felted stocking last year, so I thought it was only fair that I make one for Phoebe as well. My to-knit list for the holidays is ever-growing, so I want to cast on for about 5 different things.. however, I am making myself stick to 2 at a time.
I just started reading Amy Tan's Saving Fish from Drowning. I just finished up Shanghai Girls a couple days ago.. I guess I am on a Chinese-American literature kick.
What are you reading? What are you knitting?
Pin It Now!
Sewing is good too. I'm with you - yarn along already? December is tomorrow already? I really feel this year has just whizzed by with a few blinks of an eye. The dufflecoat is such a lovely shade of green.
ReplyDeleteAmy Tan is a great author, I've enjoyed other books of hers. Good call on sticking to two projects at a time ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE last years felted stocking. I'm sure the new one will be equally cool!
ReplyDeleteI tend to read in themes, too. I had an Chinese Literature kick a few years ago - have you read Snowflower and the Secret Fan (also by Lisa See) or Good Earth (Pearl S. Buck)? I enjoyed both of those (although I don't remember much). I've got to check out the two you've been enjoying.
