A November Yarn Along

Good morning! Joining with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along.

With all of the Halloween craziness, I haven't knit much this week, but I have picked up Phoebe's puddle duck sweater a few times. So far it is a nice and easy knit... perfect for knitting while I allow myself to indulge in watching Twin Peaks...

The kids and I just started reading The Witches by Roald Dahl. We have gotten into a really nice habit of reading together before bed every night that they spend with me. We have always tried to do this, but we would often get a bit lazy and it would only happen some nights. Now we have made it a routine, and I have noticed that both the kids and I really look forward to that time each night.

I am obviously still reading War and Peace. Just get used to seeing that because I know that it will take me months to make my way through this one (which I am totally fine with). And since I rarely ever read only one book at a time, I am also reading The Soil Will Save Us by Kristin Ohlson, a local Portland author. It's a non-fiction about the importance of soil. So far it is making me optimistic about the world. And I can't complain about that.

What are you reading? What are you knitting?
