Yarn Along - Jan 2019

this is my Yarn Along for January 2019-
linking up with Ginny at Small Things...
" ~Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading and I love sharing my projects and current reads here. I would love for you to join me each month and share what you are knitting (or crocheting) and reading too! Post your photo(s) on your blog or on Instagram (#yarnalong) and then share a link below to either your blog or Instagram post!~ (this post contains affiliate links.)"



SOOOOoooo- here is my picture of books-  It's a decent sized pile... some were gifts and some were found on ebay and it is really hilarious.  At the time of year that I have little to no time to read, I buy lots of books and try to lose myself in them at every possible chance.  I crave a wait, so I can read until its my turn. Last year I was able to read 35 books, and considering I was stuggling the past 2 months, I think that's fantastic!  Let's figure out where I'm starting.  Here's 11 on the stack for now.  I also know there's another in the mail.  I have opened Uninvited as a starter.  The Weekly Prayer Project will be an ongoing read through the year.  One of my 'virtual' friends mentioned Loving My Actual Life, so I think I'll have that one soon, and Ruth and Naomi is to go along with our Sunday Night bible study book.  I could be setting myself up for a fall, and my max is to read one fiction and one non-fiction at a time and this pile has a lot of non-fiction.  Might have to lift a fiction from here, or load one onto my kindle... good night reading...

and yarn.... I started this knit more than a year ago.  I have dragged it around quite a bit.  And now, I just don't care.  So as I clear out a bit of the clutter in my work/crafty spaces, this is going. 

I pulled it out, rolled it up in a ball and now, I'll start with a smaller project and a bigger knit.  And hoping when I post the February Yarn along, I have something more to show... Too many of this type of things in project bags and I haven't been taking the time to enjoy needles and yarn.  Slowness and failure has stopped me a bit, but this is the year for change... for letting go and for knowing that I am ENOUGH.

Actually, I think I'm doing a Harry Potter read this year.  It's been a long time and my kids left me in the dust...
