~ 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’m knitting a scarf. I feel like I’ve been knitting this scarf forever, and I have only just passed the halfway mark. I really want to cast on for a sweater for myself. But first I must finish this scarf. I must.
In more exciting news, Jonny and I are fighting over Homegrown & Handmade. Not really, we’re pretty good at taking turns. But we are both reading it. The title pretty much sums up the content of the book. It’s a nice “big picture” sort of book with chapters covering a large range of topics, and really just touching the surface on each. It’s sort of a springboard book, one you read to help decide what topics you want to really delve deeply into. Jonny and I love everything and want to do everything. We’ve always had that problem.

Thanks for hosting! Looks like a fun book!

Feather and Fan…I feel like we’re fighting this battle to get finished, lol. We must keep saying, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, just like the little train that could.

Found your blog through PW and love it! Happy to vote for you. 🙂 also love the story of the brandy bottle. My mom tells a similar one of a 6 yr old me picking a beer bottle up out of the ditch on my way home from the school bus because I thought it “belonged” to my uncle! Lol
Jackie W. says
And I also thought it was very “pretty”. Lol
