Joining in the fun of the weekly Yarn Along hosted by Ginny over at Small Things. In Ginny's words:
~ 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'm still plugging away on Rebekah's Hetty. Doesn't seem like I made much progress this week. Really there has been too much pulling me outside, the chickens, the garden and such, that knitting really has taken a back burner. But that's ok. As I get older I realize there really is a season to everything. And while I truly love to knit, there are so many other things I love to do as well. Things that can only happen during this season. So I will keep plugging away at the knitting stitch by stitch, row by row. But I wont get perturbed with myself for not getting more done, because really a lot is getting done.
As for the reading, I did finally get a chance to start The Red Tent. And I am enjoying it. Hopefully as we settle into our summer rhythm I will be able to spend more time in the evening reading. We shall see. The little one may have different plans. She thinks that is her time to be read to, and you now she is quite right.
And speaking of the little one. We have been reading Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe. What a sweet book. Thank you to Annie over at Bird and Little Bird for hosting the Read Aloud Book Along. This was a new book to us and oh so much fun! Rebekah is now planning out three day canoe trip and want to paint our canoe red!
Hope you are finding some time this summer to create and read. Two thinks I truly believe every soul needs. Please stop by this week's yarn along and share your projects or visit all the talented and creative ladies.

There really is so much to do during the busy summer months, I go to bed so tired!
ReplyDeleteI have never read The Red Tent, but Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe is a long time favorite.
Have a super yarn along day.
The Red Tent is one of my all-time favorites. The Hetty is adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI find that I don't knit as much during the summer months either sometimes it's just to busy and I agree with TRACY I go to bed so tired by the end of the day!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Rebekah's Hetty is coming along nicely I really like the pattern!!
