Joining Ginny of Small Things

The knitting gods have smiled on me! I was really worried that the lining and little clutch wasn't going to turn out the way I wanted but it did. I am so thrilled with it. I am even contemplating writing my own pattern for it, making them, and putting it into my future Etsy shop. For now, I will just make another one for my mom. And for those of you wondering about how to line a knit item, there are about a million tutorials online. Just pick the one you like! 

Almost finished the In Threes: A Baby Cardigan. Just need to finish and do some cosmetic work on it. 

I finished reading The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon. It is told in the eyes of an adolescent boy with autism. It was an interesting read and I enjoyed it. My stack of books is growing but last night I started, Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace: The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady. I am reading a chapter a week of Simplicity Parenting. It is a slow pace but I am trying to let it all sink in. I also just got a new herbal recipes book. 

I heard a reading of The Great Gatsby and I think I might re-read it next. I have been tempted to do my yearly reading of To Kill A Mockingbird but I am trying to wait until this summer so I can read it  on the anniversary of its publishing. We are taking a tour of the south this summer and visiting Monroeville, Alabama which is Harper Lee's hometown. It is my favorite book and a tragic but beautifully written story.
