Since my current knitting projects look much the same as last week with only the addition of a few rows, I took a photo of them in two of my favorite project bags. The green quilted one was a Christmas gift from Justin several years ago, and it is just perfect. It lives next to me on my knitting chair and I rarely take it anywhere as I don't want to risk all the things that could happen to it in a germy hospital waiting room. The deer bag is my go-to for when I'm carrying my knitting with me.
There isn't much to take a photo of in reading either, as only one of my current four reads is a real book, Moments of Seeing. The Verdict is on my Kindle, and Before Green Gables and Moon Over Soho are on my ipod. All of these are for Book Bingo, and I have been busy planning, placing holds and downloading books from Overdrive, along with submitting hold requests at my local libraries to locate as many of my planned books as possible. As soon as I'm done here, I'm treating myself with a walk to our local used book store. It's a pleasure to browse real books, with the possibility of finding some treasures, maybe even a book for my "An author from the state where you live" square. How Not to Be Wrong snuck into the pile because it's a great book, and I'm considering it for my "Re-read" square.
Don't forget, Mary's Summer Book Bingo officially begins this Saturday! Books you finish from Saturday, May 27 through Monday, September 4 count. It is perfectly okay to start reading now, so join in the fun!
What are you knitting and reading this week?
I am entirely enthralled with Book Bingo this year and have spent much more time contemplating books than I did last year. I have been planning things to finish over the weekend too! I am so excited to get started!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love your knitting bags, especially that lovely quilted one!
What great knitting bags, Bonny! (And that quilted bag is a treasure.) I have done very little planning for Book Bingo, but that tends to be my way. I tend to approach Book Bingo very . . . organically. I just see what crops up -- and hope I can get it through the library! :-) Maybe I should be a little more thoughtful about the whole thing this summer?
ReplyDeletedo you read on your ipod or listen? I'm assuming listening because that is a tiny screen :) I have two large pile of books by my nightstand that are screaming for me to read. That is my plan.
ReplyDeleteGreat bags!! I have no knitting progress either....oh well, some day. You (and almost everyone else) are so organized with Book Bingo. I'm not. I'm just reading what is coming through on my hold lists at the libraries and I have so many books in the house that I have yet to read...hoping some of those will fit my squares. Will be interesting to see how far I get on my card - lol.
ReplyDeleteOh such lovely bags! Personally, I have a bag problem that is as bad as my yarn problem ...
ReplyDeleteBook Bingo is going to be fun because so many of us are joining in! Your quilted bag is so beautiful and it's totally understandable you would protect it from all.the.things.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love that quilted bag. It looks like the perfect, single project size.
ReplyDeletePlanning summer reading is half the fun, I think. Good for you for making a good plan.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is just perfect and a gift which makes it even better. Thank-you for filling at least one of my squares!
ReplyDeleteLove your knitting bags, Before Green gables is on my list to read. Not much crafting since the weekend, we finally have sun here, so making the most it and out in the garden, plus we have 2 new baby rabbits which are rather adorable to watch
ReplyDeleteGlad you have some sun, for your garden and yourselves. Baby rabbits sound incredibly cute (as long as they don't end up eating vegetables in your garden)!
DeleteI'm trying to decide if I'm going to try Bingo, I do have some books lined up.
ReplyDeleteThat quilted bag is beautiful! I started my first book for Bingo and picked up two real books (including Lucy Barton) from the library on Tuesday. Boy, I can't believe summer is almost here! (and How Not to Be Wrong ... I LOVED that book and have recommended it to several others who loved it too - thank you!)
ReplyDeleteNo knitting!! I haven't had the fortitude to figure it all out. Hm. How Not To Be Wrong... will have to look that one up. Thanks, as always!!
