Yarn Along

~ 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 single photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

Last night I cast on my baby surprise jacket for the knit a long (It’s not too late to join!) I feel very privileged because I am knitting this little jacket in cashmere spun by Elizabeth Dehority. I will do a better job of photographing the yarn so you can see how beautiful it is in a few days when I can share more progress. I am only ten rows in, but already this is fun!

I have been stockpiling some books for reading with the girls as I am anticipating lots of snuggle time over the next month or so. Today we started reading Jenny and the Cat Club. I started out just reading to Larkspur on my bed, but by the time the chapter was finished, Beatrix, Keats, and Gabriel had joined us. Seth read this book long ago so he stuck with his current read, Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills. He’s going to be quite the homesteader! I figure that if I buy the books and he reads them, then I can just ask him whenever I need to know something. Okay, back to my BSJ!

Thanks so much for playing along friends!
