Yarn Along


Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for another yarn along! I have finally finished the sleeves on Phoebe's tea leaves sweater, but still have to do the front edging. For some reason, I keep procrastinating that. It would probably only take me a night of knitting if I would just start it! I should just re-name this the forever sweater. In the meantime, I decided to knit one of these cowls for a special someone and start a second (maybe for me?). I guess that is why I am not finishing the sweater-- I just want to start new things!
I am still reading Visit Sunny Chernobyl: And Other Adventures in the World's Most Polluted Places. I am about halfway through. I am enjoying reading about the places that the author is describing, but he seems to be sort of cranky and annoyed with everyone he comes into contact with. Maybe all of those people are annoying, but it makes him seem pretty cynical, and thus, I have been making my way through this book pretty slowly. I think I am due for some easy-reading fiction for the next book I dive into.
What are you reading? What are you knitting? Pin It Now!

  2. I understand what you mean about needing to start new things. The cowl looks like a fun distraction!

  3. I love that cowl. I was going to do the honey cowl for myself, but I think I might like this one better...decisions, decisions.
