~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~
I’ve settled into my old copy of Pride and Prejudice. I tend to forget much of what I read, so it doesn’t even feel like I am reading it for the second time. I have also been reading through the Advent section of The Catholic Home. I reread it every year at this time!
I decided that I must buckle down and finish knitting the socks that I started for Seth months and months ago. I lost motivation when he declared them not long enough just when I thought I was ready to turn the heel on both. I’ve got another inch to go on the second sock, and I will be ready again. He wants knee socks. I want to finish them in time to stuff them in his stocking this year. However, I am secretly hoping that he won’t like them once they are finished, because then they will be mine! I just love the yarn and the color!

I haven’t joined you for Yarn Along in awhile (and didn’t this time either, but I am knitting a gnome doll for my son), but had to comment, because I happily read Pride & Prejudice earlier this year. Loved it. My copy is a really old hardback that includes the full collection of Jane Austen’s work. There was something so special just about that book itself.

Wow, the colour of your yarn is wonderful, I love it !

Oh my – what beautiful socks!!! I just adore the color.
Also, thank you for hosting the Yarn Along again. It’s always a pleasure to join such an inspiring community of fellow fiber artists!
Annie @ knitsofacto says
That yarn really is the most gorgeous colour, I can see why you’d like the socks for you!

I’ve wanted to join in this for ages, as I have seen it around a couple of blogs. But I have never been knitting and reading something at the same time. This time around I am though, so I am delighted to join in. Thank-you so much for hosting this, it really is quite fun! Off to check out some of the other blogs now!
