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! ~
I just can't resist a two for one post. This is for Tami's WIPW and Ginny's Yarn Along . Last weeks book (Shanghai Girls ) has been temporarily put aside because this book was finally in at the library . If I didn't pick it up right away , who knows when I'll see it in again . The book is set in post war Britain and tells the tale of a Polish couple and their son reunited after surviving the second world war and spending those years apart .He ending up in England and helping in the fight against the Germans ; she in Poland and living through the horrors of war . It chronicles how they survived and of their struggle to become a family again . I'm finding it an enjoyable read but not as engaging as I thought it would be . The two main characters have me wondering how they ever got together in the first place . I'm just over half way through hoping that feelings will change by the time I finish reading it .
As for what's on the go , wouldn't you know that the hottest days of the summer find me knitting a baby blanket for my granddaughter Stella's christening in August . It was a surprise request from my DIL Chantal . I searched the net and found an Evelyn Clark old shale crochet blanket , hit the yarn shop and her we are . There are also last weeks grey socks in rotation . I need to finish those by the end of the month .
That's it for today . Head on over to Tami's to see what others are knitting .

Cool, I've never seen Old Shale done in crochet before, it looks great :) I'm knitting a blanket in the summer too, but I don't even have a good excuse!
Looks like a very pretty, lacy blanket for the christening. I like seeing what other people are reading too. I think it'll be Clara Callan for me next!
Love the Old Shale, its beautiful. I have to be honest and Iam a book whore, I will read almost anything. My Hubbie however goes through 4 books a month so I am reading his hand me downs can't bring mysef to buy something for me. So it's Sci Fi for the moment.
That's a beautiful pattern.
The pattern looks lovely in white!!!It will be a very pretty blanket when finished.
Beautiful, what a gorgeous colour. Katie x

Love the gift knit for the baby! Thanks fo rcommmenting on my blog.....glad it was funny for you!
Love the baby blanket. It must be hard knitting in all that heat!
I love audiobooks for being able to read and knit at the same time. I'm listening to multiple non-fiction books, and also reading a good novel called So Brave, So Young, and Handsome.
