Yarn Along

I'm joining Ginny again this week, but I don't have a photo of the books I am reading. Sorry, it's late and there's very little light.

The Elder and I have been reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the past week or so, but that was supplanted today by Because of Winn-Dixie. That's the selection for this month's Mother/Daughter book club and it came in the mail today.

The Younger and I are still reading How to Train Your Dragon, we only have a couple of chapters left, and then I don't know what we'll read next. Maybe we'll get going on Farmer Boy, that's been on my list for months.

I found my copy of To Kill a Mockingbird this week as well, so I was able to squeeze in a page or two for myself. Such a beautiful book. Harper Lee just pulls you in and makes you know these people.

As for the knitting, I am clicking along on Peasy.

Quite a satisfying knit.

I am always a little wary of knitting a sport weight sweater for myself, even though I know it will be a joy to wear, because I feel like it's going to take forever.

That feeling makes me bring the knitting with me everywhere, and I end up making tremendous progress.

The yarn I am using (Thirteen Mile Sport Weight) has some variation across the dyelot, so I am ending up with less yarn than I thought that matches well. At this point the sweater looks a little short, but I am going to finish the sleeves before I add any more length.

We'll see how the finished product ends up. I think I'll still love wearing it, and the color is really one of my favorites.

It's a lot brighter than in the photo, I have yet to take an accurate photo of the color.

Anyway, what are you knitting and reading lately?
