Peacefully Knitting {Yarn Along}

We've been experiencing a bit of a heatwave here, strange weather for the week before Memorial Day in Michigan.  As a result, we don't yet have our house summer-ized, and things are a little toasty in here.  Still, I find myself knitting.  Rosie is 7 weeks old and has begun smiling and cooing in earnest.  She would much prefer to sit in her little chair and be chatted with when awake then held.  This all results in me sitting nearby, needles in hand, indulging my littlest Miss.  I'm working on a pair of shortie overalls, customs for a friend.  Lately I've been thinking of getting back into the knitting-as-income game, and how that may play out.  I'm hoping to list a few pre-made items on my facebook page, so if you are interested in being notified when those go up, please like my page here.

With all the knitting and planting and outdoor playing and peek-a-booing going on around here, I haven't been reading much.  I still haven't finished "A Circle of Quiet," but during a recent nursing session, I reached out and grabbed whatever was handy - "Peace Pilgrim," it turns out, was just sitting in the right place at the right time.  It is a very interesting book about a very interesting person, someone I had never before heard of.  I find myself making mental notes and wishing I had a highlighter handy (where did those disappear to?).  She has a lot of wisdom in her book.  I cannot say that I agree with all of her views or ideas, but I find her to be absolutely charming.  I am so enjoying this little book!  (Thank you to my sister Hannah for sending it to me! You are right, it's wonderful!).

Joining up with Ginny today for her lovely yarn along!
