It's Wednesday, and we're halfway to the weekend! That's enough reason for excitement. We're in the midst of another cold snap in CT (brrr) but fortunately, the sun is shining and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day, even if it doesn't melt any more of the snow. Even better, it looks as if the snowstorm predicted for tomorrow is going to go right past us, without hitting us. I'm so happy. We might get through one whole week without a snow day!
Today, I'm participating in the Yarn Along over at Ginny's blog. Participants take a picture of what they're knitting and reading, and upload it to their blog. Then Ginny posts the links on her blog, so we reading knitters can all see what other people are reading and knitting. Get that? Good.
I'm knitting (what else?) a baby hat for one of the many babies that are coming into the world this year in my extended family. It's not one of the hats in that entry; this one's going to be a little more subdued. I'm knitting it out of a skein of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (55% merino wool, 33% microfibre, 12% cashmere), in what I think is color 002 (as the Yarn Harlot would say, bewitching name) -- I lost the ball band a while ago. I love this yarn for baby garments; it's super-soft and bouncy. Plus it's easy on the fingers.
As for reading? I know you can't get a good idea from just looking at the attractive apple green cover of my Kindle, Annabelle Lee.
After finishing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and enjoying it very much, I downloaded its sequel, Through The Looking Glass and started it last night. I'm more than halfway done with it. I like it, although not as much as I liked Alice. There are more characters (many who don't last more than a page or two) and the settings change quite often, which isn't surprising, as she's now in Looking Glass World (where everything is backwards), so it can be a bit more confusing than the first. But I'm really enjoying it.
Also, I finally saw the Tim Burton version of Through The Looking Glass last night -- more about that when I finish the book!

I love Debbie Bliss's yarn, so soft and always knits up beautifully! I also love your selection of books!

I'm using Debbie Bliss right now, and I love it. I am also a HUGE fan of Lewis Carroll, and borrowed my blog name from him. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteLove Debbie Bliss and you chose a beautiful color. Happy knitting and reading.
