~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, 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 am really in love with knitting this blanket. The pattern is so easy and Knit Picks Comfy is a beautiful cotton to have thread through your fingers. The colors are so perfect together and if I hadn't found this blanket already knit in these colors, I don't think I would have come up with these repeats.
Those two skeins above are a very light lavender and the same gray I am using now. When I begin that blanket I think I will add white in where the pink is in the current one. Does that make sense? Just to break it up a little.
I found a copy of Pope Benedict's writings at the library. I am enjoying delving into these. Some a little heavy, but most very "essential". I may compose a post on these a little later. Still trying to find that "voice".
A record day yesterday at Drawstrings! Nine bags sold in one day is wonderful!!! I have added new fabric choices. I have bags at my LYS as well and I switched some out, so those should be posted this week as well. Thank you truly for the shop. I am humbled.
Looking forward today to seeing what everyone is knitting an reading! Joining Ginny at Small Things.

So happy you are busy over at Drawstrings, Wanda! :) Still loving my bag and am eager for the smaller one to arrive! KPs comfy is super soft and is kind to the fingers; my daughter in law and I used it to knit a purple Jerid Flood blanket for the granddaughter. Blessings, Lisa
