Happily joining in with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along. The pressure of Christmas gifting has set in and I have been getting back into the rhythm of nightly knitting. I am still working on Phoebe's tea leaves sweater and I am almost done with the body. I am loving the way it is turning out so far. I just need to decide if I am going to do the 3/4 length sleeves, as written in the pattern, or if I am going to make them longer for cool winter days. I also started a mystery holiday gift yesterday. My knitting list is long, so I need to stay motivated!
As for reading, I am reading snippets of books here and there. Not having time to read much at once, I seem to read a chapter of one book one day and then a chapter of a different book the next. I actually hate when I do this... start reading way too many books at once and then I am not sure where to focus my energy. I guess for now I will keep chugging along and eventually I will finish something, right? Maybe my new years resolution should be to stay focused!
What are you knitting? What are you reading?
Beautiful start to your tea leaves cardigan! I love the color you chose. Someday I will actually knit that cardigan instead of drooling over it. :)
ReplyDeleteTea leaves is on my list too. Such a pretty pattern!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see if you do long sleeves or not. Either way I'm sure she will love it no matter what. I've been knitting for the holidays as well. Tis the season!
ReplyDeletelove to see the sweater when it is all finished. good luck with all the projects, i feel the rush as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes read like that too and it drives me crazy. Sometimes I feel like I have adult ADD - can't stay interested in one book long enough to finish it. I have been doing better lately but am still reading the book about parenting teens called "I'd Listen to My Parents if They'd Just Shut Up." Interesting book...keep it in mind when you little ones are older. Hope you get all your Christmas projects done! Enjoy the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteLove the new yarn, beautiful colour. Your tea leaves is looking great!
ReplyDeletePretty color choice for the tiny tea leaves. I want to make another for myself in a better yarn, so sad how pilly mine is after all the trouble I went through:(
ReplyDeleteThat is my favorite color combo! I love the tea leaves pattern, don't you? I have made it twice, the first time in a similar color.
