~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading and I love sharing my projects and current reads here. I would love for you to join me every Wednesday to share a single photo of what you are knitting (or crocheting) and reading too! Share your photo on your blog, on Instagram (#yarnalong), or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us!~
Last week I finished The Blue Castle, and rediscovered No Life for a Lady. I have way too many books stacked on my desk, and it had gotten buried. I am about halfway through it now, and love it. I think that Jonny and my older boys will probably want to read this one too. It is in the same vein as High, Wide and Lonesome: Growing Up on the Colorado Frontier
After making several late night mistakes on my legwarmers, I picked up an abandoned knitting project. I completed the first of these mitts many months ago, and am now working to get the second one finished.

I;d never have made it in the Pioneer days
I always enjoy seeing the yarn you are using, you have good taste – it looks so soft and good quality. I’d quite like to squish it, but America’s a long way from England just to see some yarn!
I just finished this book a couple weeks ago! I found it very interesting. I have The Blue Castle on my reading pile right now. I have so many book recommendations coming my way that the pile is just too big!
The book sounds interesting. I started a hat today and made a mistake early on and had to frog over half of it! Such a silly mistake too.
I adore the colour of your mittens.
Pretty mitts! It’s getting to be mitt weather around here as I’m starting to get ice-cold-mouse-hand syndrome.
The book looks fascinating. Would you say it is suitable for children/young people?
You always have the most interesting books! And I love that yarn. Great color.
Thank you for hosting, always lovely to see what you are working on! xx
Love your mitts. Your knitting always looks PERFECT! I knit some gloves for my daughter a couple of years ago with that same color (at least that’s what it looks like on my computer) and she loved them.
Such a beautiful colour yarn, quite striking. Thank you for hosting.
love the mittens! sounds like a good book! God give you strength!
beautiful mitts Ginny, and I love the color 🙂 I’m furiously working on some secret knitting and I hope by the end of this week I’ll be done, fingers crossed.
That yarn is a gorgeous shade, love the pattern design too 🙂
What a stunning shade of green!
I wonder why I have not read High, Wide & Lonesome? I grew up in Colorado. While not on the flatland, I grew up in the mountains which, when I look back on it was an amazing childhood.
Pretty pattern and pretty yarn for your mitts Ginny.
My boys loved Little Britches.
Three cheers for knitting mittens this season. I love the earthy green!
