Knitting and Reading




This wonderful week of "in between" finds me finishing up some mindless but enjoyable knitting.  I am on the last color of my basket weave stitch blanket using Peace Fleece yarn.

I just finished what is not my most favorite Christian nonfiction, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert - so good!

My before sleep read is a simple book that requires very little intelligent thought but helps to clear my brain enough to fall asleep.
The yarn in the picture with the books is a skein of wool that Mike gave me for Christmas.  My goal for 2015 is to  become a more skilled knitter to  make pretty things for nest year's gifts. 

With the new yarn I would like to try this claret cowl that Ginny shared the other day.
