Yarn Along is a wonderful link-up -- hosted by the Small Things blog every Wednesday -- about two of the best things in life: reading and knitting!
Hello from the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee! We're here celebrating my 30th birthday (it was yesterday; today I come to you as an official adult -- woo. hoo.) and I didn't bring any knitting along. So I'm showing off my Molly hat, my most-worn knitted item. I love that slouchy, soft teal beanie with its big, fat cable!
I'm totally engrossed in "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. It's spooky, eerie and dark -- absolutely perfect for reading in the woods in late October. It's one of the best books I've read so far this year! It had been on my to-read list for-ev-er, and I was sorta saving it for just the right time. I wanted to read it in the fall because it's an atmospheric sort of novel, and I'm so glad I waited. Reading in the shadowy woods next to a rushing river surrounded by falling leaves and raindrops is just the right setting for something gothic!
What beautiful pictures. It would be heavenly to be sitting along the river's edge with some knitting. Happy B-Day!
ReplyDeleteIt would be heavenly... but I stopped taking knitting along with us on trips. I never end up knitting! Thanks for the b-day wishes! :)
DeleteOh, I adore this hat. It looks so cozy. Happy belated! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shaina! I love this hat too. It's slouchy and doesn't flatten my hair, which is a huge plus. And that color... my favorite!
DeleteHappy Birthday!!!! Welcome to the adult club :-) Your hat is beautiful and I also really enjoyed that book - you obviously have good taste, just like me ;-0
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks! I finished "The Thirteenth Tale" the other day and gave it 5 stars. Such an unputdownable book!
DeleteGreat place to spend your birthday.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed! Took the edge off being three decades old! ;)
