Joining in with the Yarn Along again this week, and it's a Yarn Along with a bonus - this week there is a giveaway, and it's not too late to join in yourself!
Sticking with my obsession with green things right now, I'm swatching with some lovely Noro Cash Iroha that's been hanging out in my stash, with plans to cast on for the Creature Comforts Cardi as my project for Vestuary. I'm so looking forward to this one, the yarn is soft and the leaf cable pattern is gorgeous!
The book by Michael Pollan, Second Nature, is a collection of essays that I'm enjoying quite a bit. Things have been super busy at work, and an essay is just about the full amount of time and attention span I have right now. Plus, it's all about gardening - what's not to love?
I've knit with the cash iroha and loved it. I made those wrist warmers from Last minute Gifts with them. I finally joined in Yarn Along, I love reading too and now I'm off to read some of the other participants :)

I really enjoyed that book! Have you read any of Wendell Berry's essays? If you like Pollan, you might really enjoy Berry!

Michael Pollan is always a good read. I hadn't heard/read Second Nature yet.
That yarn goes well with it!

That vest will be gorgeous! What an amazing pattern and I agree with Amanda, Wendell Berry is terrific. I like his poems even better than his essays.
