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? Take a photo and share it
either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo
with the rest of us!

I know. You're stunned. Another baby hat.
After weeks of picking at Mouse's baby blanket (2.5 balls to go!) I realized that Moose's teacher's last day before she goes out on maternity leave is tomorrow. Eek! So I picked up this really pretty skein of Cascade 220 Superwash in "Princess Pink" at my LYS and frantically cast on a roll-brim beanie Adventure Hat. I think I'll finish in time - I'm starting the crown now.
When I'm not falling into bed at night, I'm getting lost in The Language of Flowers
after the kids go to sleep. It's the story of an orphan finding her way in San Francisco after "aging out" of the foster care system. While we all know I usually prefer historical fiction (this departure is for my neighborhood book club), the Victorian philosophy of the flowers' meaning (and somewhat mystical power) woven into the story keeps me riveted. And I'd be lying by omission if I didn't admit that the protagonist's being an orphan didn't grab at my heart and make me want to run into Mouse's room just to hug her.
A small additional note: this is my 100th post. If this is your first time visiting, or if you've been with me from the start, a very warm thank you for stopping by and spending some time with me in this little space.

ReplyDeleteThe tag I added to the knitted socks was made with a Stampin up set. Just had to have it to make my own tags. :-)
