Yarn Along



Linking up with Ginny at Small Things for another Yarn Along.

We are in full-preparation mode for our spring break adventure to Mexico, and I finally decided what reading and what knitting to bring along. For reading, I will be bringing Moby Duck, a book about plastics that may be very fitting for my class nest term... but not exactly easy beach reading. For the lighter side, I am bringing The Full Cupboard of Life (from the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series) and Operating Instructions. For some reason, I am packing like I will have copious time to read, but realistically, I will be entertaining and chasing 2 children non-stop and will probably come home having read 10 pages!

And what to knit? I decided on the In-Threes cardigan for Phoebe. Since it is in one piece and on a circular needle, I figured it made for good traveling.

Oh- I also recently finished up a present for a friend who is due next month. A teeny tiny baby milo vest and a matching gnome hat. Those little milos just knit up so quickly!! Take a peek below. Apparently, my cat wanted to be included on this one!

What are you reading? What are you knitting?

Ok, now I am off to do some packing! Adios amigos!
