~ 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 continue to persevere through this scarf. I am amazed at how long it is, yet still too short. I am happy that I finally got a photo that I think accurately portrays the color.
Last week I picked up a copy of Farm City at the library last and I am really enjoying it. The author is a good storyteller and she has interesting stories to tell. She is an urban farmer living in what sounds like a dangerous area of Oakland, California. She raises a garden on an empty lot along with chickens, bees, ducks, rabbits, and even a turkey. I’m not quite halfway through the book, but so far it’s a good read. I have very little in common with the author beyond a love for growing things, but I think that’s part of what makes the book appealing.
also-I saw this on Facebook, and want to pass along that that Maya is having a really good sale on all the yarn in her Springtree Road Etsy shop: 25% off with code LOVE25. The discount is good through Sunday.

Gosh, I can’t get over that beautiful yarn.
Urban farming is something I would so love to do. I’m a lover of country and city, so it just makes so much sense to me!
Jo says
MMM, that scarf is like a yummy hot chocolate!

Thank you! I have recently come across your blog, and as I do craft for my shop, I have been wanting something to do and relax… as I don’t do a lot of knitting, your ‘yarn along’ is just what I needed. I am starting off with basics, and hopefully encouraging others to ‘give it a go’ . I have also linked your ‘yarn along’ to my post 🙂 Thanks again, and happy crafting, Jenny
Annie says
Your scarf is lovely, and looks like a book I’d enjoy–thanks for sharing! I’ve also been meaning to thank you for two of your other recommendations–the Francis books (which I did not know about–imagine that!–and my daughter and husband and I now LOVE) and Little Britches (just started it and also loving). Thanks for hosting yarn along–such wonderful inspiration–truly makes life brighter for so many (:

Hi, I’ve just signed up for the yarn along. I think that it’s going to be such a great way for me to stay focused on a project and not start too many at once like I always do!!
Thanks for hosting,
Rosie

Oh my, you always knit with such beautiful yarn!
margot says
Gosh, I love that scarf! You are going to be so excited when you finally have it finished! The color is just beautiful.

I see what you mean about the color, it does look different. I can see the color changes in this picture. I’ve started something for a wee break from the feather and fan ghan, so truly relate to the time factor.
