Yarn-along: finally a read-aloud that works, some bead knitting and other bits and pieces
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~ Ginny at small things
We have finally done it — we have found a read-aloud that all three kids (almost 9, 11, 12) enjoy and that I enjoy reading to them … whew, it’s the end of September and the first read-aloud that has really worked! What is it: Mistress Masham’s Repose by T.H. White (who wrote Sword in the Stone). Mistress Masham is a sequel or re-telling of Gulliver’s Travels that is wonderful reading — it’s funny, philosophical and filled with action … bad guys and good guys …mistakes … forgiveness … friendships. Well, it’s all there! T.H.White is a phenomenal story teller (and, truth be told, I wished he had written Gulliver’s Travels — I might have enjoyed it more!). Lovin’ it!
For my reading:
- Northanger Abbey (I’m reading it with the girls’ group and enjoying it as much as the girls are)
- The Creative Workshop (recommended by a friend and it is excellent — Kit and I will start working through it together one evening a week starting in October; she’s going to be my designer, I’m thinkin’)
- Catholic Sexual Ethics is a book I’m reviewing for The Catholic Company which I chose it to review as my dh is steeped in bioethics and always talking over my head a bit. I’m hoping reading this will give me at least a talking knowledge of bioethics.
So, what’s on your needles and reading table(s)? Won’t you come yarn-along with us over at Ginny’s?
