~ 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! ~
Today was the first day we used our woodstove this season. I’ve been cold all week, but right now, sitting here on Tuesday evening, it’s hot in here. I’m waiting on my next fiction read to arrive, and have been reading The Beekeeper’s Handbook whenever I can. I am working on Beatrix’s Bulle, and hoping to have it finished soon now that the weather is cold.
Apseed says
Very beautiful color!
Erin @ Wild Whispers says
Lovely!
Freshy says
Your photos are amazing! And so is that colorway. What yarn is it?
Tara @ Bush Mama says
Love the yarn!
rachel says
Oh, your woodstove. I would love to have one some day. In the meantime I’m layering wool and still shivering.
Thanks for hosting us all!
Jazz says
Lovely color! Good luck with the knitting.
Josee says
I have that book on my bedside table 🙂 Haven’t started reading it though.
Baby by the Sea says
There’s something about the color of yarn you’ve chosen and the pairing of the colors and sound of a wood stove that is just downright perfect.
Grace says
Oh, also. Now that you’ve been sharing Bulles in that colorway for a while, I’m having a hard time imagining them being any other color! I want to make one for Elisabeth — and as much as I really wanted something for myself out of that colorway, it might have to be her Bulle!
Grace says
PS: Please fix it.
Grace says
Oh, geez, I’m so bad at this! I didn’t notice that it saved my “name” as “Lunch Week followed by Yarn Along”! I’m pathetic. LOL
Amanda Thornton says
love that yarn you’re using. I’ve been working with some Silky Wool, knitting up a stole in a beautiful leaf motif.
xo
Julia says
I love the colorway of the yarn you are using and I am wishing we had our fire going too.
Michelle says
Isn’t that wonderful, that switch from being cold all week to firing up the woodstove and suddenly the house is so hot you’ve got to open windows?
Peaceful Knitter says
That sweater is going to be stunning! I immediately went and queued it up for my own daughter.
Anne says
Wood stoves are so warm and cozy and give the best heat!
Anne says
I love the color of your yarn ~ perfect for fall, and I miss my woodstove! 🙁
Donna says
We have been using our wood stove this week too. It’s so cozy to knit while it’s lit!
Kim says
Love that colour. Hope your new book arrives today so you can read it by the fire later today 🙂
Joy says
Can’t wait to see Beatrix’s finished Bulle. Enjoy the warmth of the woodstove. 🙂
Susan @ Tea & Cake says
Yesterday morning I finally broke down and turned on the heat. I wanted to try to make it until Thanksgiving, but it was too cold. Brrrrr!
Andee says
Still no power in NJ. We are loving our wood burning stove. I’ll be back later with my link up.
Tina says
I miss wood burning stoves. Stay warm 🙂
Sally says
That yarn you’re using looks delicious… golden like honey funnily enough? Or is it no coincidence at all?
Tonya - Plain and Joyful Living says
Thank you again Ginny for hosting this!
Clair says
Wish I could say the same. Been waiting for our management-controlled heat to kick up a notch!
Beautiful yarn…stay cozy!
Kathleen says
It looks cozy! The yarn is very pretty.
nytesong says
You always have the best yarn colors that are so rich and warm!
Eileen says
love your yarn color choice, my fav. thanks for doing this yarn along, i really enjoy visiting the other blogs with a cup of tea after work.
Dawn says
that is a great colorway and I love the bee books you are reading. the cover on this one is wonderful. Are you still enjoying the bees?

Emma says
ooh, that stove looks cosy. Brrr, wish we had one in our house 🙂
Hannah@HomeBaked says
Ooh, I wish we had a proper fire! It’s lovely to sit in a cosy house and knit away the evening hours, isn’t it?!
Emily says
We’ve been using our fireplace for a few weeks now, and it is lovely to sit by!
Mary G says
ooo, a wood stove sounds lovely right now (we have a gas fireplace … it’s just not the same!).
The Bulle is looking lovely …
Richard Rose says
Things are warming up in this part of the world. We’ve already had our first 30+(°C) day for the season and the air conditioner has been running.
sustainablemum says
Cosy autumn fires are just perfect. We must be cooler than you as we have had ours lit for a month now!
Debbie in London says
I love those autumnal colours, too. I have just started a scarf with some lovely rusty orange and purple (I know, but it is lovely, really) yarn from my stash.
Beth says
That color yarn is just so beautiful!
karen says
Lovely yarn! I hope your fictional book arrives today 🙂 There is something about the first fire lit that makes fall feel like fall!!
Gina says
Beekeeping has always fascinated me. I wish I weren’t terrified of them! If we had a woodstove, I would live in front of it all winter…so warm and inviting.
Jules @littlewoollie says
Hello Ginny, just thought I’d tell you how much I have enjoyed all the autumnal colours in your recent posts, you live in a gorgeous part of the world! Have a lovely week, Julie.
sylvia says
love the colour of Beatrix’s cardi!! so much non-fiction reading here as well, i look forward to checking all the lovely links in this link-up for some fiction inspiration!
Tracey says
It is cold here this morning and I wish I had a fire. We bring our wood stove in for the winter and
out for the rest of the year since we don’t need it very often so I guess I know what the plan is for
today!
Christine says
My link on the number 4 spot is not the right one. Is there a way you can remove it?
