Yarn Along

Reading: Summer and Bird, by Katherine Catmull. This was a book that I wanted to read solely because of the cover. :) I don't even like birds (except owls...they're beautiful), but this cover was so pretty that I was drawn to it, and the story sounded interesting, too. It's a middle grade fantasy about two young sisters who are searching for their parents, and end up falling into this magical bird kingdom along the way (that there parents are entwined in, too). So far it's good: the writing is beautiful and the story feels a bit eerie and atmospheric, so it feels nice for fall.

Knitting: A shawl from my most recent handspun. I'm using the Boneyard Shawl pattern, except mine will be quite small and I'm not counting rows in between garter ridges...I'm just adding them randomly. I'm nearly out of yarn, and since I'm knitting until I run out, I must be almost finished. {After writing up this post, I did finish!}
