Yarn Along


I am joining Ginny for her Yarn Along -- a single picture of your current read and current yarn-involved project.  Love the idea.  Please check out the link to see what others are knitting and reading.  So, on my needles, a pair of fingerless mittens and in my hands, Neil Gaiman's American Gods.  The gods of whatever kind of mythology you can think of are in America and they are just like us except, well, they are gods.  Which means they aren't like us because they have all those god-like powers.  The oh-so-likeable Shadow is a man caught in the storm brewing among the gods.  have I mentioned that Shadow's deceased wife makes the occasional  appearance?  Ah, I am loving this book.

Between preparing breakfast for the boys and getting them ready for school, this morning I was able to sneak outside and take a few pictures of our early morning frost.  It was a good one.

  2. Lovely photos. I'm participating in Ginny's Knitting and Reading play too. (It is there that I found you.) I already post something every Wednesday...so I guess I'll be doing two posts on Wednesdays now. :)

  5. I have long wanted to knit a pair of fingerless gloves for myself, but it is so hard to find time to knit something that isn't for one of my kids!
    I have friends who are friends with Neil Gaiman, and they are really into his stuff-he seems like an interesting guy.

  11. Beautiful photos Tara, we haven't had any frost here in England yet... just a lots of strong winds blowing all the leaves off the trees. I think it's coming pretty soon though. I love the way that you are able to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary, you make it seem extraordinary!
