~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

This weekend, after the wedding festivities, the brides parents generously let us stay at their Farm House in rural Wisconsin. The home and grounds were beautiful and we all had a great time. I wanted to leave a token of our gratitude behind.
I was able to quickly knit up two coffee cozies, using a pattern developed by my sister. Slipped over an empty (clean and unused!) to-go cup, it presents very nicely as a hostess gift. I added a couple Starbucks gift cards, attached to the lids with bits of yarn.
These gifts will be repeated shortly as end-of-the-year gifts for Christopher's teachers at school!
And what am I reading?? Andrew purchased "Last Minute Knitted Gifts" for me when we visited a yarn store over the weekend. I am enjoying the book and drooling over the patterns! He gift came with a caveat, though -- he had seen a sweater in the store that he asked me to knit for him. The pattern is in this book! I told him that I am happy to knit him a sweater, provided he not expect to wear it before 2015.
