So nice to see a fellow knitter out there. I have the same problem, so many books to read and so many presents to make, all at the same time ;)! I've done books on audio in the past so that I could do both simultaneously, but I do love curling up on a cold day with my hot cocoa and book in hand, too. Tough choices . . .
Happy knitting to you!
I am so in!Challenge level: medium

You are so right. At the moment I'm making a Frozen Jumper for my daughter (she's 28!), a Dr Who Tardis Tea Cosy for a friend and mug cosies for Chirstmas Presents. I really need to stop working and just knit and read. :)
