This Hitchhiker shawlette might be the death of me. I can absolutely promise you that by next week’s Yarn Along it will no longer be in the picture. I have less than 80 rows left! I was hoping to finish by tomorrow in order to gift it for Valentine’s Day, but it will probably be more like next Tuesday. Ah, oh well. It is very lovely nonetheless.
I am currently reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. She is one of my very favorite authors and so far this book is absolutely fantastic.
A few favorites from the book so far:
“You make cheese yourself”, she repeated reverently. “You are a real housewife.” It has taken me decades to get here, but I took that as a compliment.
Instead of needing to drive to the gym, we walk up the hill to do pitchfork free weights, weed-pull yoga, and Hoe Master.
I also delved into Warren’s copy of The Beekeeper’s Bible. Just enough to plan a little bit of my garden with the bees in mind.
Yarning along with Ginny.
Your hitchhiker looks great! I'm a bit creeping along on my present shawl.. think I need a movie marathon to get it going again. Worth the wait for your Valentine!
ReplyDeleteI had Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, but not enough time to get into it. Perhaps I need to try again. Keep us posted!
Have a great day!
