Happily joining in with Ginny of Small Things for this week's yarn along.

I am about halfway through Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It, a non-fiction about bottled water by Elizabeth Royte. I have found it fairly interesting, as this is a subject that I teach about, but I have found some parts of it to be pretty dry (funny that I described it as dry, since it is a book about water...). Also, the book is focused on the eastern US, where the author lives, but water and water policy works completely differently in the west, where I live. Regardless, there is still some good information in there, and it gives some insight into the political mess that surrounds our water system.

I have finished my arm warmers and am in love. Now I have moved back to trying to finish up Phoebe's poncho before cooler weather sets in. Only a few more stripes to go! And then a lot of loose ends to weave in.......

What are you reading? What are you knitting?

  3. Love the hand warmers and the wild and wonderful colors.

    I am a sucker for reading children's books. Have you read Wonder by R.J. Palaccio?
