Yarn Along


It has been several weeks since I have joined in with Ginny at Small Things for a Yarn Along. Honestly, I have done very little knitting since my last yarn along post in early August. We have been so busy traveling and adjusting to our new schedule, and on most of the nights that I have had time to actually pull out my needles, I have been too exhausted to contemplate knitting. Last night I was able to get in a few rows on a birthday gift for a little gal in my life... and while knitting, I was thinking of all of the things I should be (and wanted to be) knitting, so I think I have regained my knitting inspiration. Perfect timing since the chill in the morning air tells me that fall is on it's way. And those Halloween costumes certainly are not going to make themselves!
And reading? Oh boy. I have been in the midst of a reading schizophrenia for the entire end of the summer. Literally, I am reading 7 books right now, and have only finished one book in the last several weeks. Most of these are non-fiction books, as our family has had quite an emotional summer, and reading about issues is the best way for me to process. But, this means that I keep starting new books and not finishing any and the pile keeps growing...... now that we have no travel plans in the near future, I am looking forward to some cozy nights curled up with a book and some knitting (but not at the same time).
What are you reading? What are you knitting? Pin It Now!
