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’ve finished my socks, which are blocking and I will have a photo soon, and now looking forward to joining the Carol Feller 100th Pattern Kal over at Ravelry, featuring her latest design Ravi. I’m about a month behind, but I hope to catch up. I’ve also casted on the Persuasion Scarf by Kirsti Johanson using my handspun in the colorway Secret Garden . This fiber is so squishy soft, I love it!
As far as reading, I’m still reading Next by Michael Crichton. This is by far a very strange book that jumps around so much that I’m almost getting lost. There are too many characters and too many plots. I will finish but I’m not sure what to think about this particular book as of yet.

Your scarf is going to be gorgeous. I’ve had my eye on the Persuasion scarf too, I just haven’t found the right yarn for it yet but yours looks heavenly.
On the book front, I’m currently reading “The Game” by Laurie R. King. Just can’t get enough of Sherlock and Mary! lol
Thank you my dearest fiber sister … I owe it to you to use my handspun, you’re my spinning inspiration! Oh the Game sounds interesting … I’ll have to check that one out

I have really enjoyed most of Michael Crichton’s books, but some are more difficult to follow than others. It is too bad he has passed away. I would like more.
Me too Jeanie and I so agree !
