... of sorts.
I have decided to take a bit of a knitting break after all the knitting that I did prior to Christmas.
My hands just literally did not want to work on what I picked up yesterday to play with... I really felt like they were revolting! Telling me NO and that I needed a break!
So, I'm going to do what they say... lol.
Kinda.
I'm going to pick up a few books that I have around the house and actually do some reading - or more that you can do than in a visit to the bathroom ;)
Right now, I'm reading "Water for Elephants" (which is quite entertainging!) and just purchased the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyers on Amazon.com.
I've also got a book called "Plain Truth" at home... I believe this book has been made into a TV movie that has the gal from Law & Order: SVU in it... but I'll still read it anyhow...
But I really feel like I've neglected my love for reading after I picked up knitting... so I'm going to take some time to do that...
Yet still knit in between.
I really don't have any projects that have "time lines" right now, so I can do a bit of both of my loves - reading and knitting...
I do have a project that is already started that I'm going to try and finish by Saturday...
One of Derek's friends has a newly adopted newborn daughter (like as of last Wednesday!!) and since I've already got a baby blanket in girl colors started, we both thought it would be nice to give him (her) that...
I will take pictures of it soon... I love the yarn it is made with... so soft and fluffy...
After the new year, I'm going to start to learn how to make socks... I missed the last class she put on back in the middle of December - damn red wine! - but I'm determined to learn how this time...
AND! I'm going to make myself something... since I haven't yet... lol
Shoot, I think I need something for myself... after all the other stuff I've made...
Anyways, so yea... I will be posting pics soon... probably tonight... of knitting and Christmas... so watch for those!
Have a great day...
xoxo

Water For Elephants....I got that book for Christmas! :) You like it, then?
I'm glad your starting to read again. It's a hard habit to break....not that I'd want to break it. Reading is my escape.
I think a little knitting break is probably a good idea. I think you'll enjoy it more again if you're away from it for a few days.
And I definitely wanna see the picture of the baby blanket. How cute!
XOXO,

I have that book..yeah you need a break...I bet your fingers have been knitting up a storm ..
I don't know about you, but I am tired..
Whew girl, I am sure you are ready for a break. You knitted your little heart out.
That book sounds good-I may have to check it out.
