what a fine excuse reading is

This is my latest knitting project. I took this photo about a month ago, and I can't say that I've made much progress since then. I've read about five books, though!

2008 isn't shaping up to be good year in terms of commitment to my knitting hobby. I have had all of the parts of a cotton tank completed for at least a month, and I haven't been able to motivate myself to spend the required then minutes to do the little bit of sewing to finish it up. It's ridiculous, isn't it?

Maybe reading is my best pastime, and knitting is just a diversion. If I'm honest, I've been knitting for about eighteen months, and I've been reading books with chapters for twenty-six years.

My Top Five Books that are Better than Knitting:
1. Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl
2. Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson
3. Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner
4. A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle
5. Fried Eggs with Chopsticks by Polly Evans

I'm definitely going to have to seek out Fried Eggs with Chopsticks, since the other four books are favorites of mine! I really want to learn how to knit, but maybe I should just stick with reading... ;)
