Yarn Along

Joining in with Ginny over at Small Things for another Yarn Along.  The past couple of weeks I have been doing more sewing than knitting (I finished up the first thing I sewed from a pattern last night!), but I have managed to crank out a couple of gnome hats for the kids, and I started a second sweater for Phoebe! This is another Debbie Bliss pattern, the dufflecoat, and since it only goes up to 12 months, I decided that now is the time. Miss P is already 8.5 months, so hopefully I can get this thing finished before she gets too big. The pressure is on! And, I realized I am on a green yarn kick. I bought the same colorway for the kids hats and Phoebe's new sweater (at different times), plus some more for Phoebe's stocking (which is on my to-do list).
In the world of reading, I got Haruki Murakami's brand new book, 1Q84, from the library last week and only have 10 more days before it is due. And, it is huge. 925 pages. Luckily, like everything Murakami writes, it sucks you in to the surreal story, and it goes by quick. Hard to put it down. I am about 550 pages in, and am hooked.
What are you reading? What are you knitting (or yarning, as Finn likes to say!)?
