Yarn Along and a Bath




~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading (though not at the same time!), 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?



















I thought ahead and took hand knitted socks on our trip north. It was 14 degrees the first morning we awoke.  They have now had their bath and are hanging to dry.  On our way home I knit a little Puerperium Cardigan.  I used Pure Pima cotton. It looks lavender in the photos, but it is actually a light gray.  I will find little pink buttons in the next day or so as this is to be gifted soon.

Last night I started on a Gift Wrap Sweater for a shower in a couple of weeks.  No pics yet, but I hope to have it finished for next week's post.

My weekly trip to the library is tomorrow.  No reading on the bedside table until then.  I'm researching photographers/videographers with the Bride to Be :)))

Linking up with Ginny!
