Yarn Along


Joining with Ginny at Small Thing's for today's Yarn Along. 

 I am taking a quick break from knitting my sweater.... a wonderful friend had a baby a few weeks earlier than expected, and I was caught off guard without a gift ready! So... I spent part of the weekend knitting the new arrival a hat and working on a plain vest for her as well. Just a few more rows and it will be all set to be sent! And, after a quick break, I am actually looking forward to picking up my sweater once again. Maybe that was all the motivation I needed.

I am still reading This Place on Earth, and working on finishing up the first book in the Game of Throne series. Even though I have been reading a bit each day, I feel like I just haven't made much progress.  And, as you can see from my photo above, I have a huge stack of books just waiting to be cracked. And, they are all very important books too. Once I read them, I will have a perfectly well behaved three year old, right? Can you imagine? Life would be so boring, wouldn't it?

What are you reading?  What are you knitting?

    So true. I love parenting books but always find it funny how big their claims are ;)

    I will go against the grain and say I just didn't like the Playful Parenting book. It rubbed me totally wrong. I cant say why. I know a lot of people loved it. "How to talk so your kids will listen and listen so your kids will talk" (sorry, too lazy to cap the title) is one I keep by my bedside at all times. xoxxo

    Such dear little presents! Oh I had to laugh at your comment regarding the books - don't we hold out hope, huh!?! We've been watching the Game of Thrones - only up to second season - but I don't know if I could read them - sooooooo long and detailed - I'd have to make charts to keep track of all the characters! Good luck :-)
