So, I made some progressed and finished up a few things this past week: I finally put the finishing flowers on Phoebe's dress (she isn't modelling it because it is supposed to be a birthday present), I finished up a wee baby hat for a friend (not shown as it is to be a surprise), and I almost finished up Phoebe's pixie hat (just need to weave in a couple loose ends and add the button). Sadly, I made the 12-24 month version, and now, at 11 months, it is already pushing too small. My children have enormous noggins.
I am still (slowly) working on Finn's Valentine's monster. It is ending up being quite a bit more entailed than I had expected, so I have been sort of avoiding it. If I want to actually get it done in time, I need to get a move on...
OK, so I have problems. I also casted-on a tea-top for Phoebe, another secret project for a baby-to-be, and this hat for myself. I am just too scattered brained to focus on one thing at a time these days!!
I am still reading The Big Thirst and also started reading Pride and Prejudice for my book club. I got an e-reader for Christmas, which I was a little hesitant about using, but I found P&P for only $0.99 and so I am giving it a whirl. It is weird not to have the feel of a read page in-between my hands, but I must say that it is pretty convenient. And, although I haven't researched into them, they seem like an environmental plus because of all of the paper and processing energy saved over printing books.
What are you reading and knitting this week?
I have several things on the needles too and am coming to realize it is just the life of a knitter so I am going to roll with it!
ReplyDeleteI have an ereader and bought it with the idea of not having so many stacks of books everywhere. I love using it to read at night before falling alsleep, but still find I need to feel a book in my hand so I do both! I hope you enjoy P&P, it is so good!
Happy Yarn along.
I'm borrowing my brother's e-reader this week (he had a few books on it I've been wanting to read) and I'm surprised at how much I like it. I've been a hold-out on e-readers, but I might just be changing my mind!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is adorable! I am sure she will love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you sure have been busy! The dress is super cute. Maybe it is the weather we are having as I seem to be scatter brained lately when it comes to my projects too. I pulled out a wip last night that I haven't touched in about two years and why?? I already have three cardigans and a hat on my needles.
ReplyDeleteHappy Yarn Along. :)

I don't care what the means are- book or screen- Mr. Darcy is still just as dreamy. ::sigh::
ReplyDeleteI know so well the pain of startitis and it's companion illness - finishistis. Your knits are so lovely, though, how can you resist?
