Oh August, how much I love you. The reading and the knitting so far this month have been very neat, very planned, very to the point--all things that August just is not. This month is just a little messier than its predecessor, a little sweatier, and just a little more fun. I don't know if it is because my birthday falls during this eighth month of the year, but I just love everything.about.August. There is not much that is predictable about it for us {and I like that} and I look forward to what is {my knitting and reading}.
Each sweltering night, I look forward to my one (or two) rounds of knitting (or purling) my mom's Christmas cowl. I am slowly but surely finishing this one. I hope to have it off the needles by the end of the month and I am enjoying it while it is on them.
And after those couple rounds of knitting (in between a whole lot of this), I read a chapter of The Egg and I. This reading is so light and funny--just what I need and want in this moment, this month in time.
I am really looking forward to reading more knitting and reading adventures this week!

I've been wondering how to get in all the reading & knitting I want to do...I like your strategy - a few rounds & a chapter. Of course, I really need to do it several times/day. But, starting after my boy's in bed is something. Thanks for the tip! :-)
how do we get to it all? lol. i too struggle to get to both, especially as i can't knit the current project out in the open!
happy birthday!
:)

This is me each evening too, a few rows and a good read! x
A few rows are better than no rows! Happy knitting!
yes... me too. Knit awhile and read awhile in those few hours between little ones and my bedtime.
The knitting is lovely and I have seen the movie but have not read that book. I bet it is good.
Happy birthday month! I have been wanting to read The Egg and I; it sounds like you are enjoying it. xx
All you folks who are already Christmas knitting- envy that planning!!
Glad you're enjoying both so much. I've been trying a couple of rounds each night, too, and it does keep me motivated and feeling like I'm accomplishing a bit more!
