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

~Ginny at Small Things
I am taking a break from my (very late) holiday clean-up to join in the sharing at Small Things!
Within a few weeks of each other last year, Kim shared a knitted ball she completed for a friend's baby, and Wendy wrote about about sewing a tactile ball for her little one. Taking inspiration from both, I have been working on this beach ball pattern using different natural fibers (wool and cotton) from my stash to make a colorful, textural experience ball for Mouse. I'm at the assembly point now, and am thinking I'll add in some jingle bells when I stuff it for an extra surprise. Thank you so much Kim & Wendy!
My January book club book, The Housekeeper and the Professor
by Yoko Ogawa just arrived in yesterday's mail. I only had time to scratch the surface last night, but the premise is intriguing (like "Beautiful Mind" meets "50 First Dates").
