~ 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! ~
This week I started knitting an ‘I’m freaking out because my house is messy and company is coming sweater’ for Silas. It does make sense to me to cast on rather than clean in situations like these, although I can’t explain exactly why. When company arrives and I am a little worn out, I just try to fake normalcy rather than confessing that I had to stay up half the previous night cleaning because I was knitting when I should have been cleaning floors and toilets. In truth, I wanted to cast on several other projects as well, but restrained myself.
The real name of this clever little sweater pattern is the Small Things Sweater, the name being another reason why I had to knit it. I have been wanting to knit Silas a gray sweater for some time, and chose Quince & Co. Lark in a deep gray heather that I am really liking.
After Silas was born, I got out of the habit of reading chapter books to my big boys in the evenings, but I think we are getting back into the swing of things. This week we started The House of Sixty Fathers by Meindert Dejong and the boys are really into it so far. I am finding it to be a bit heartbreaking, but hopefully there will be a happy ending!
