Yarn Along

Today I discovered Yarn Along. It is a weekly post by Ginny from Small Things. You post a picture of what you are knitting or crocheting and reading at the time. I don’t knit or crochet very well at all. Some of you may remember my excitement at acutally making a hat back during the fall. That was an amazing feat for me! So here is my meager offering for the Yarn Along. It is supposed to be a blanket for the Animal Shelter. At the rate I am going one little dog might get it by the time winter comes along again. The book is Chang and Eng by Darin Strauss, about Siamese twins born in Siam in 1811. They were from taken from their very loving and protective family at the age of seven and made to perform for audiences around the world. Later they married two sisters from North Carolina which I think is the oddest and most unexpected thing for that time period. It is so interesting and I loved reading about their early life with their parents who loved them so much.
