Yarnin' Along, Again



Wow.  I haven't done a Yarn Along in a while.  Not that I haven't been knitting.  Most of my recent projects were Christmas gifts and, therefore, not bloggable.  But I have picked up the needles again, after a short break from Christmas overload!



I knit these fun fingerless gloves for PeterXavier and was quickly bombarded with requests from the other children.  Thankfully, they're a rather quick knit.  Christopher has a pair as well, now, and Gracie has some on the needles.  They fancy-schmancy hand painted yarn I am using for her's is a bear to work with, so they are slow going.  I can't wait to finish them and be rid of that yarn!



Last night I bought some yummy soft pink Lanaloft to make Bella some gloves.  I can't wait to dig into that yarn.



As for reading, it's all been on my awesome new Kindle Fire.  In the past couple weeks, I have read the first two books on the Hunger Games trilogy.  Without being a spoiler, what's your take on these books?  They seem to beg discussion :)


Don't forget to visit Ginny for more Yarn Alongs!

I read the Hunger Games on my son's request and really enjoyed them, even though wasn't my usual reading material.
I did several pairs of fingerless gloves for gifts and now have my children requesting them too!

I still wear the fingerless gloves you made me last year. They're great!

I read the first and third of the Hunger Games books. There were some things that bothered me about the first one, but it was ultimately pretty fun. The third book was just TERRIBLE! So sooooo terrible!
