Yarn Along

Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for today's yarn along. I finally finished Phoebe's Helena sweater. I made a few pretty big changes to the original pattern, like capped sleeves and a ribbon tie, and I think I am happy with the way it came out. I did make the 2T size though, and it is a bit big on Miss P, which is perfect, since it is currently not sweater weather. She has some room to grow. I have just been working on a few baby presents for friends, but the knitting is slow going, as I have been hot and extra tired!
I am still reading all of the same books as I was last week: Bill McKibbon's The End of Nature, The Shock Doctrine, and The Hobbit. I have been reading snippets here and there, but I haven't made much progress!
And now, I am headed to the hills for a couple nights of camping. Of course, I am bringing books to read and yarn to knit, but with 2 kids and 2 dogs, I will probably not even touch either!
What are you reading? What are you knitting?

And, if you have a chance to stop by my July garden link-up, and share some pictures of your July garden, that would be marvelous!
