Print Reading: Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant. I haven't had much time for print reading so I'm still reading the same book I started last week. It's also possible that I'm going slowly because I really love the serendipitous matching of my book and knitting bag!
Audiobook: One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson. I'm also still listening to Bill Bryson. We had a day of storms yesterday with lots of rain and wind, so that means lots of leaves are down to begin the raking season. I listen to audiobooks while doing yard work, so I may be making some progress on this one while raking this week.
Knitting: Hitchhiking Who Knows Where and My Heart Belongs to Blue. Hitchhiking is my travel project so it has only grown by five teeth or so. I'm just past the halfway point on My Heart but because it's lace and needs to be blocked to show the heart border to full effect, it looks less than beautiful at the moment. I'm knitting it with DIC Smooshy with Cashmere, so what it lacks in beauty now is more than made up for by my decadent enjoyment of this yarn.
What are you reading and knitting this week? Join in this week's Yarn Along, with Ginny at Small Things.
That yarn looks so soft. I love the blue shades. And as I said before, the project bag is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am working on a hitchhiker and am on the homestretch! Have not seen the second shawl pattern you're working on before (at least I don't remember having seen it...); the colorway is deep and dreamy. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Hitchhiker.. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just read Bryson's memoir The something Kid.. Can't remember the title. It was fluff but fun.
Hitchhikers are such a fun and easy knit, aren't they? Love the color of your knitting projects!
ReplyDeleteI see progress on that fantastic shawl!! Also love that zipper pouch :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the colors of your knits! Gorgeous!! And that project bag! Sooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm knitting a hitchhiker, too, with very decadent yarn! That's a gorgeous blue---the 2nd one, but, really, both. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the variegated yarn that you choose for your hitchhiker. It's turning out nicely.
