As I was checking my bloglines stuff this evening, I found a link to a great knit/readalong--Knit the Classics. I think it is an absolutely fabulous idea!
Then why am I not joining at this time, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you--right now I have a ton of things on needles(socks, blanket, scarf, shawl, sweater) and even more on deck. And as for reading I'm already backed up--I have 4 books I need to read(Seize the Night, Stroke of Midnight, Knitting: A Novel, and Lord of the Rings) and 2 more coming out this summer(HP and the Half Blood Prince and Eldest). To top all that off--my interest in actually completing some of my cross stitch projects has been rekindled as of late(more on the long standing cross stitch addiction in a later post). Plus, I have 2 kiddos who require most of my daytime attention, a trip to NY, and a move to another state coming up in the next month.
My plate seems a little full to me--that being said I will probably still go out and buy the first book and possibly start a project related to it :) Oh the feeble will of a reader/knitter(2 of my very favorite things)!!!
Happy knitting,
Aloha :)

Wish I could manage to read and knit at the same time! Lately I don't manage to do too much of either! :)
I like that it would bring two of my favorite hobbies together in a special way, but I still can't read while I knit...oh well...I still bookmarked it, so we'll see. Take care.
I can't read and knit at the same time either! Oh well, Miriam tells me it will come eventually. Knit the Classics sounds like fun though!
I've been knitting for years and still can't knit and read. Mim would be a super achiever;-)
3 words, you guys--Books on Tape :) I have to admit that my reading time has actually gone down quite a bit since I started knitting--God strike me down for saying this, but maybe, just maybe I could cut my knitting time down to read more :)
