Reading: I've moved on to Anne of Avonlea now. I'm not quite 100 pages in yet but I'm really enjoying it. A couple of parts seemed vaguely familiar to me, and at first I wondered if maybe I had started this one before, too. But then I realized that I just remember them from the film. :)
Knitting: I'm still knitting on those socks from last week (I'm starting on the second). But I also started these simple striped mitts (pattern here). I meant to make these back in the fall but ran out of time. I need more lighter, fingering weight mitts...most of mine are worsted weight and they're sometimes a little too warm.

Anne of Avonlea was such a good book! When I was reading it I felt like I should be curled up in front of a nice, warm fire with a cup of tea or something. It's a really cozy and funny read. I hope you enjoy the rest of it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! I'm hoping to finish it soon. :) I'm discovering so much that I missed before from just reading the first book and watching the films!
DeleteI love the covers of your Anne books!! I liked Anne of Avonlea betteer than Anne of Green Gables!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They are really beautiful editions. I'm curious to see which will be my favorite books of the series. :)
DeleteSuch a beautiful book! Have you seen the ones that are embroidered? Lovely knitting, oh I could stand a pair of mitts that are too warm! Good problem to have!
ReplyDeleteDo you mean the Penguin Threads editions? I have Jane Austen's Emma in that edition, and it's beautiful. There are just so many lovely editions of the Anne books, too!
DeleteHa, I guess it is. :) It just seems like most Virginia winters aren't quite as cold as I, as a knitter, need them to be!
Must read this series - because I do so adore the movies! Cannot wait to read them. Especially with those pretty covers. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read them soon! I also love the movies...or the first two, anyway. :) I know, I love these editions.
DeleteWhat gorgeous art on the covers of your Anne books ~ they are lovely! ❤

Thanks! I love them, too. :) Sourcebooks Fire did beautiful new editions of quite a few of L.M. Montgomery's books.
DeleteOh how I adore the Anne books. It is a series I should read again...it ahs been so long. I am knitting mitts too--the pattern on my needles is called X-Mitts on Ravelry. It is written for worsted and fingering weights.
ReplyDeleteHave a super week....

I had previously only read the first book, so I'm getting to discover the series for the first time. :) Just looked up the pattern you're knitting...it's really lovely! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI LOVE Anne of Green Gables! The series makes me happy. Okay, I really only like the first few books in the series. And can I borrow (with intent to keep) your copies? Mine are not near as cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHa. :) To be honest, I already owned the first three books in old, not-so-pretty covers that I had bought at thrift stores. But when I saw these, I donated those and of course I had to replace them. :)
