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? ~ Ginny from Small Things
I finished my Oaklet Shawlette last week and I love how it turned out. This was truly a fun knit that worked up fairly quickly. I’m still working on my Vodka Lemonade and hope to separate the sleeves in the next few days. This project has been slow going, but I really don’t mind.
I also finished my books, the Poyson Garden by Karen Harper and Knit with Love by Lisa Bogart . I really enjoyed them both and have now moved on to The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. I’ve never read any of J.R.R. Tolkein’s books and with the upcoming release of the Hobbit this fall, I thought it would be fun to read the entire series.
Happy knitting and reading!
We’re also looking forward to the release of the Hobbit later this year. I like your idea of reading through the books before seeing the movie.
Love the chocolate brown of your shawl! Gorgeous!

Thank you Lisa for finding me via Ginny
Thank you too for the compliments.
Ooh, your Knit With Love sounds good – I’ve just ordered it. Thanks so much for linking to the Vodka Lemonade pattern – it’s perfect for some yarn I purchased recently!
You’re so welcome Hannah and I hope you enjoy both the book and the pattern
Your shawl is delightful. It must feel wonderful to wear!
I am excited about the upcoming release of The Hobbit this fall as well. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy but my favorite J.R.R. Tolkein was definitely The Hobbit. It will be interesting to see how the movie compares to the book.
We can’t wait for the movie either Simone and hopefully it will be just as good as the other movies. I’m really enjoying the Lord of the Rings – it’s been enjoyable to read.
Swooooon! Beautifully done. ~xoxo
Yes indeed!!! I really loved knitting with your yarn Wen
Humble THANKS Tina! ♥
You’re so welcome ♥
