Yarn Along - Straight A's!

My choice of clues may be straight A's but my knitting, well, with the various missed 'yarn overs' might merit only B's or C's - but this slightly fuzzy yarn does a great jobs of hiding my 'lower grades'!!  On the flip side I think the yarn doesn't do the lace work justice.  There are lots of  'Follow Your Arrow' Mystery Knit Along w.i.p to be seen over on Ravelry where the pattern definition is much clearer due to the type of yarn chosen.

I'm also a bit behind! Clue 5 (the last one) was released on Monday and I'm only on row 13 of a 24 row pattern of Clue 4!!  Richard's cousin gave birth three weeks early so I had to put away my shawl to make her wee one a little gift.

I'm very happy with my clue 4A.  I was worried that my choice of 1A, which has a lot of garter stitch was looking a little heavy next to the lace of clue's 2 & 3. However,  4A has a nice garter stitch section to it which I think ties in nicely with 1A.

I came home from the Chamonix Ladies Book Club (book exchange) on friday evening, with three interesting looking books -
Barbara Kingslover's - Flight Behavior, A Long Retreat - Andrew Krivak (a memoir of one man's search for his religious calling) and Inside of a Dog - What Dogs See, Smell and Know (Alexandrea Horowitz).  Thought this might make interesting reading with a puppy in the house.  Richard is convinced that Ringo is doted with superior intelligence and thinks he will try and teach him to read!!! - well if he succeeds I'll teach my furry friend to knit, then he can have his own Yarn Along posts!  Watch this space...

What are you (and your animals) knitting and reading this week?
