<\/a>Every Wednesday, Ginny at Small Things<\/a> hosts a Yarn Along:<\/p>\n

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? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is an appalling picture of my current knitting project in low-light, low-battery (and thus flash-less) conditions:<\/p>\n

\"July<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The zigzaggy thing is the start of a shawl. Specifically, Frankie Brown’s Lightning Shawl. The yarn is Crazy Zauberball and is much brighter than this picture would suggest. The needles are US5 straights, although I continue to second-guess the size choice. The project is my Tour de France knit. I started yesterday. The Tour ends in ten days. Yes, I know the odds are stacked against me. However, what this really means is that a new shawl is on the needles because the last one is off them! Stop back on Friday for pictures.<\/p>\n

The books I’m currently reading are Gayle Forman’s Just One Day<\/em>, the story of a recent high school grad on a European tour who randomly decides to visit Paris with a guy she barely knows. It got lots of good reviews over the winter, and I’m taking part in a French-themed blog event (Hey! I’m taking part in a French-themed blog event. I’ll tell you more about it later in the week!) throughout July, so this seemed a good fit.<\/p>\n

The other book is The Monstrous Regiment of Women<\/em>, the second novel in the Mary Russell\/Sherlock Holmes mystery series by Laurie King. It’s one of the ten books<\/a> I hope to read this summer, and one I’m considering taking to the beach this weekend.<\/p>\n
