I’m working on the body of Mabel’s little cardigan and just started reading a book I received from a friend for Christmas, Gilead. Have any of you read it?

Did you have a nice Christmas? I hope so!

    The color of that yarn is gorgeous. Did you dye it yourself?

    I loved Gilead but my sister hated it and we usually like the same books! I also love Home and Housekeeping, but just can’t get intested in Lila. I have tried 3 times since I received it as a gift last February.

    Could you explain how to buy from your shop. I was able to put things in my cart but could not purchase. I love your yarn and was so disappointed. Please help!

    MR has written just 4 fiction books-if you like Gilead, read all 4! My encounter with her writting has been a milestone in my life (and I do read a lot).

    If you like Gilead, you MUST read Housekeeping!

    One of my absolute favourite authors ever. I love Gilead but my favourite book (maybe of all time) is Lila by MR as well. Happy reading.

    Marilynme Robinson is a favorite writer of mine. I think her best work is Home. Let us know what you think of Gilead.

    I adored “Gilead” – reflective, slow and beautiful but in a house full of busy children and a baby, don’t be hard on yourself if this one is hard to get into. There are times and seasons for a book.

    Mabel’s cardigan is looking great.

    I just received Gilead for Christmas, myself, along with her two companion books, and I’m eager to find a minute to begin reading. A merry continuing Christmas to you and your lively, lovely family!

    I read Housekeeping in college and became a lifelong fan of Marilynne Robinson. Can’t wait to read about your experience with this book!

    I read Gilead last year and really enjoyed it. Her other books are on my to-be-read list for this year. What a pretty design on that cardigan!

    I have not read that book yet, I can’t wait to see what you think of it!! Looks like you are super close to a finished knit.
