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

Thanks to baseball games and Monday’s road trip, I am almost finished with my Seashore Cowl!  I was afraid I’d never pick it up again after all the baby knits, so I am pretty happy about this turn of events.  I also finished reading The Devil’s Advocate (I do believe there will be more Morris West in my future) and started reading The Queen Must Die.  I’m in the mood for bees right now.

 

Grab a button for your post or sidebar! Visit the Yarn Along page for additional button colors!
Below is a linky list if you’d like to link up and join the Yarn Along.

    Hi Ginny,

    Have you ever read The Keeper of the Bees by Gene Stratton-Porter. Lovely, lovely book!

    Ginny,
    Your seashore cowl is so pretty.
    I look forward to hearing how you like that bee book. I read Sue Hubbell’s A Book of Bees because you spoke so highly of it and I really enjoyed reading it.

    Love,
    Taryn
