Joining Ginny again for the Yarn Along...
Oh my friends, it is finished! The B.O.B. is done just in time for tank tops and shorts here in the Northeast (pictures coming soon as I am switching the buttons on it). Never mind, though, I am pretty happy with this snugglely little package. The blocking worked... a little too well. It is quite large but I never wanted it to be form fitting. A sweater of my own, I say, a sweater of my own.
While the sweater was blocking, I knit up some little chickens from Knitted Animals for three Easter baskets. These look very homemade; I find them endearing, my kids do not.
And on the reading front, I have been bouncing from book to book, unable to contain my burgeoning interests in so many different things. A few titles that are on my bed stand right now: The New Complete Guide to Beekeeping, Knitter's Almanac, A Charlotte Mason Education, and Pocketful of Pinecones.

Those are pretty adorable chickens. Can't wait to see pics of the form-fitting BOB!
A sweater for you, yay! I like the chickens. And beekeeping is a new interest around these parts, too.
Hooray!! I'm so glad the blocking worked wonders for you...if unexpected wonders! Looking forward to seeing it.
What an impressive stack of books you are working on! Enjoy
P.S. I think your chickens are very cute!
I *love* your little knitted chickens--so cute :-)
I can't wait to see your B.O.B.
Your bedside table is like mine right now. I've got all kind of books stacked up on it--so many, that I don't know which one to reach for next. Not a bad problem to have ;-)
Love that line "I find them endearing, my kids do not." Oh, couldn't that be repeated over and over here in my house. I love, love, love Charlotte Mason style education. Haven't always been able to make it work perfectly, but it's my ideal : ). Enjoy your books.
