Yarn Along

I saw this 'Yarn Along' on Small Things blog and had to get involved! Crocheting and reading are two of my favourite things to do and I love taking photos so I couldn't pass this fun little project up.
At the moment I'm crocheting tonnes of roses, all different colours. They are becoming quite popular in my Etsy store and if I do end up having a stall in some local craft fairs I'll need a lot more stock! In the picture above you can see a bundle of rose stems, making these is what I spent most of today doing. Next will be crocheting the roses, then crocheting calyx's and finally sewing them all together.
The book I'm reading at the moment is Ginger Roger's self written autobiography, it has some interesting points in it however I find some of her 'memories' a little hard to believe. For example, in the first part of the book she writes about when she was 1 year old and was kidnapped by her Father, she says "I remember it as clearly as if it happened yesterday. I was chewing on a pretzel, and when I saw Mother, I began calling, "Mackey! Mackey".
Seriously. Who remembers when they were 1 year old..?
Anywho, once I'm finished with that book I'll move on to 'Change of Heart' by Jodi Picoult. I'm not sure what it's about, anyone read it? M's Mom gave it to me a few weeks ago, she loves Jodi Picoult. 

If you would like to join in on the Yarn Along take a photo of what you are currently knitting/crocheting and reading, use the button below or go to Small Things blog to find different colours and share the love.
