~ 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 nearly forgot to take a Yarn Along photo today. The light was fading fast, so I grabbed my book and project and ran outside. The moment I laid my things down to take a photo, the chickens moved in to investigate…
I think they’re pretty amusing.
This week I finished Larkspur’s Bulle, and cast on for Beatrix’s. I am knitting Bea’s in the same yarn and colorway (tosh vintage/amber trinket) and waiting to give Larkspur hers until Bea’s is finished.
I finished reading Far from the Madding Crowd, and started reading Henry James’ Washington Square. According to the back cover, Graham Greene once said of it, “Perhaps the only novel in which a man has successfully invaded the feminine field and produced a work comparable to Jane Austen’s.” I am reading this book for my book club and I am enjoying it so far. While I did like Far from the Madding Crowd, I am appreciating the fact that Washington Square doesn’t have me feeling like I need to look up the definition of words constantly!

Those pesky chickens :- ) As I scrolled through your photos I kept wanting to shout, “Oh no! Save that yarn!”
Larkspur’s Bulle turned out so pretty–are you knitting Beatrix’s in the same color?
I want to start reading more classic books. You inspire me :- )
This put a definite smile on my face this morning! 🙂
Love the chickens–and the yarn!!!
I love your photos and your chickens are too funny! Thanks for sharing and happy knitting 🙂
Hello Ginny, it is with pleasure that I forthe first time! I discovered your blog a few days ago and I love reading you… Love, Noémie
Chickens are funny little creatures aren’t they. Love the yarn you are working with.
These photos are hilarious! The chickens aren’t sure what to make of the yarn.
Love the chickens!! 🙂 Just linked up now to put my post up 🙂
Any pictures of the finished Bule?
Those hens are so funny.
Lovely color of yarn.
Not yet! I am waiting to give Larkspur hers until Beatrix’s is finished too.
What great photos. I wonder if she thought she had found a worm?
And here I thought I only had to worry about the cats playing with the yarn…
The chickens made me smile.
I finally linked again today with the back of a sweater and my horrible first attempt at spinning.
Your chickens are hilarious! I had a knitting project thief in my post too 🙂
Lovely colors in your yarn today.
Those chicken pictures are just fabulous! What fun!
Your chicken pics are wonderful, put a smile on my face this morning. Thanks for doing the yarn along
Such curious chickens! It reminds me of a book I read to my girls this week, Chickens to the Rescue. They help the family with all their work. I think you may have some knitting chickens on your hands! Beautiful yarn too! Why type is it?
It’s the same yarn I used for Larkspur’s Bulle: Madelinetosh vintage in amber trinket. Bea’s skeins are a bit brighter though.
The pictures are priceless!
Your chickens are too funny. I’ll be back later with my link up.
I love the pictures! Great match of yarn and chicken 🙂
Haha, I love your chickens! Funny pictures, thanks for sharing them:)
Those chickens are so cute!
Just like a cat would do with yarn!
Now that’s a hen party. Enjoyed and chuckled through your pictures today.
What funny funny photos!
Oh my goodness – how funny! I have a dog who chews on my yarn (I am currently knitting with a “mended” skein) so in addition to making me laugh, your post also makes me slightly nervous. 🙂
The chickens *are* pretty amusing. I hope all this knitting productivity means your shoulder is feeling a bit better. xo
The productivity is an illusion I guess! I barely knit at all this week, Larkspur’s Bulle was nearly finished when I hurt my shoulder. I am really, really hoping to be able to knit more in the coming week so both girls can wear their matching Bulles! My shoulder does feel a lot better, so I am hopeful!
LOL hilarious!! Love that colorway.
Just as well you left it until the last minute, or else we may have missed this amusing bit of lovleiness. 🙂
It worked out! Definitely put a smile on my face yesterday. If it wasn’t such nice yarn I might have let them play with it for longer.
Chicken are wonderfull! :-))
😀
Lol! I love chickens!
Oh my, kniting chickens! Wonderful series of photos.
Could have been a very long and yummy worm after all! Worth a try.
Really nice pictures!
Love the second-to-last photo! These have got to be my favorite Yarn Along photos ever.
Not joining in this week, as I am hoping to be done, or nearly so, with the Sunday Sweater by next week.
That colorway you are knitting with blows me away every time I see it…it’s delicious!
I can’t wait to see it Nadja!!
I love the chickens!!
Oh my, those pictures sure put a smile on my face… Knitting, reading and chickens – it can’t get any better than that. 🙂
Ginny…we also love our chickens..they are so funny!! I wonder what they thought of your yarn?

love the photographs. Pretty yarn
Washington Square is one of my all-time favourite novels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Fabulous photos of your cheeky chooks! I guess your yarn colour resembles a nice juicy earth worm.
Your chickens didn’t half make me smile 🙂
Chickens are so funny sometimes! I love how curious they are about everything, it is always entertaining having them around….. I love that colourful wool there Ginny, hope you are able to get back on the needles with your sore shoulder! Hope you have a lovely week. Julie x
the pictures are gorgeous and would make fun note cards for a knitter! Hugs and hope the hen didn’t unravel all your work …
Good idea, Mary!!
Those photos are so cute. And I love the colour of your yarn. So pretty!
Those pictures and models are just WONDERFUL!
I learned to crochet today! Very exciting! xx The chickens are just gorgeous…. I am missing mine after a visit from Foxy Loxy 🙁
Oh no!!! That’s really sad. (not the crochet part of course.)
Beautiful chickens 🙂
I love how the yarn complements the colour of the chickens. Great photos xx
Chickens are so fun to be around, I could watch them all day. That’s a lovely colourway of yarn that the chickens are looking at:)
I could too. That would be so nice, to sit in a comfy chair and watch chickens while knitting.
I love these photos! And the colour of that yarn is just fabulous. Oh how I’d love to have a few chooks!
It seems that you are really productive in the knitting area! I hope your shoulder is getting better 🙂 Love the chickens, I think they would love to learn how to knit.
Well, Larkspur’s Bulle was almost finished when I hurt my shoulder. It worked out well that I only had to knit a little this week to finish it up, so I could feel productive without having to do much. My shoulder does feel better, but my knitting mojo is slow in returning for some reason. I swear, now my left hand is hurting when I knit!!
