Today I’m joining Ginny’s Yarn Along, sharing what I’m knitting and reading.

I finished a little purple elf hat for Hazel and was able to deliver it to her yesterday. I was going to wait to give it to her for her birthday in February, but instead I chose the hottest day of the year.

With all the cowls I’ve been knitting lately, I actually started one for myself! I love love the colors, so earthy and woodsy. I’m using some handspun wool (in a color called ‘Harvest’) from sweet Karen, of Gift of Grace Handspun. I’m doing the moss stitch (or seed stitch) for the first time and really enjoying it. Plus I love the name “moss stitch” which goes well with my moss-colored cowl. 

I had so many books next to the bed and knew I needed to finish some up. I finished ‘Trust Your Vibes’. I finished ‘Respect the Spindle’ and returned all my library books which felt good. 

Then I started ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’, which I picked up for a buck at a sale. As soon as I started it, it sounded like another book comes first, ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.’ So then I debated whether to keep reading or get the Tow Sawyer book and start with that? Have any of you read them? What do you think?

By the way, here’s Hazel with her hat yesterday (yummy):

 How about you? Are you knitting warm wooly things in the middle of summer, like me? 

Any fun knitting projects? Any good reads?
