Yarn Along

Good morning! Joining with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along. It's a rainy, dreary day here and I just couldn't motivate to get my post up any earlier!

The weather here has cooled off and I had a chance to wear  my sweater that I finished last week. I love it. I had Finn take a couple of pictures showing it off... they are posted below.

Now I am working on this rainbow trout hat for Phoebe....it's not exactly a mindless knit, and I have found that I have to actually pay attention while knitting it. Which means that I also had to start this sweater, also a holiday gift for Phoebe, so that I would have something to knit while I watched movies! I think this one will go by pretty fast...

And what am I reading? Well, the kids and I are reading The Twits by Roald Dahl, one that I actually had never read as a child. It's pretty silly. I finished The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton on Sunday and it was really good. I devoured it. And now I have decided to start War and Peace. I think it weighs 20 pounds. Seriously. But, as War and Peace is more than 1,200 pages long (!!!!), I already had to start a more-mindless read for those times that my brain can't handle Russian lit. So, I started Tea Time for the Traditionally Built, which is number 10-ish in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. 

What are you reading? What are you knitting?
