Yarn Along & 7x7

~ 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 at Ginny's to share your photo with the rest of us! ~

It's getting late in the day, and I have to force myself to sit down at the computer (again) to put up today's post.  I've spent too much time on the computer already today, simply because I had nowhere to be except here.  And it's not laundry day.

#5 on yesterday's list should have been to cut way back on computer playtime because it makes for a much more peaceful day!  I've noticed lately that the days I just don't feeel like being at the computer, I'm more peaceful and chores get done in a more timely fashion.  It's also very likely that I'll branch out and do something different that I've been meaning to get to.  I love those days!

I have spent a lot of time knitting yesterday and today, but I just can't seem to finish this silly Drop in the Ocean.  That's it's new name.  I'm almost there, though!  I might be able to get it done tonight ---- aack, no.  Choir practice.

I worked on the Color Affection quite a bit Saturday while I watched a movie about J.K. Rowling. Despite my son complaining the whole time that it was a bad movie, I enjoyed it.  Now, every time I pick up the shawl to work on it, I have a strong desire to read all the Harry Potter books again!

I picked up a new book last night off my TBR shelf.  It's one of the few works of fiction on that shelf, and I'm feeling a real lack of fiction in my life these days!  My brain is a bit tired from trying to plow through G. K. Chesterton. 

Anyway, I picked up Mr. Blue, (not an affiliate link), who is a joyful chap despite his poverty.  He remained joyful when his rich uncle died and left him $2 million dollars which he happily spent in a couple of years.  I'm anxious to see how he gets on after that!
