Clue one just arrived and I have my yarn and needles ready! Cast on will be happening shortly!
In my ears is a book I have quickly become engrossed in – I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. Excellent narration and a fascinating story. I have read one other book by Zusak, The Book Thief, which I loved. I am the Messenger is nothing like The Book Thief, but I am enjoying it tremendously!
Finally, today begins a new month in my stitch journal – and February brings wool, flannel, and a fresh set of stitches. I am excited to see how this unfolds.
Linking up with Ginny and her Yarn Along and wishing you a very happy February First!
loved the book thief…..didn’t know that he had a new book out! thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to this month’s stitch journal, too!! good post!
I Am the Messenger sounds so intriguing that I had to quickly place an Overdrive hold. Fingers crossed I don’t have to wait too long – Thank you! Wool and flannel sound perfect for Feb. and I’m looking forward to your evolving stitches!
Thanks for the recommendation for I Am the Messenger. Can’t wait to see how your February stitches look!
I, too, loved The Book Thief, so I look forward to hearing how you enjoy his follow-up.
I have my yarn and needles ready to go, but I’ve found something else that draws my attention (for a short time). I like I Am the Messenger. It’s feel good easy listening.
I’m so glad you’re knitting the socks – can’t wait to see the pattern … and hear what you think about The Messenger. Clearly shows Zusak’s strength as a writer; his two books could not be more different (I enjoyed both, but loved The Book Thief more).
I’ll have to check out that book, as I loved The Book Thief.
I will add I Am the Messenger to my TR list. I think you’ll like the stitchin’ on wool for sure…so soothing and peaceful. Enjoy!
I loved Book Thief, but not so much I Am the Messenger. Oh, well. Can’t win ’em all! Can’t wait to see your February stitches. XO
I really enjoyed I am the Messenger, my son and I had lively discussions about the book when we both read it. He has excellent book tastes and I frequently like what he recommends to me.
Great great yarns . they will look amazing together!
