I'm in a pretty good mood this morning. There are only 8 more days until summer break! The art show I'm in opens tomorrow night. And I'm enjoying my knitting and reading.
I had lost my place on the Winding Way socks, thanks to a Post-It Note that had lost too much of its stickiness. I figured it out over the three-day weekend, and now it's moving along smoothly.
I realized that it's a Tin Can Knits pattern -- which is the same designer as my sweater, Harvest. That's coming along smoothly, too, but I thought I'd give you a break from photos of endless pink!
And I'm loving both these books:
Speak by Louisa Hall reminds me of some of David Mitchell's books because it ties together people from across history, some real and others fictional, who are struggling to tell their stories in various ways. Unlike a Mitchell novel, though, it is fairly short. A good summer read. How About Never? Is Never Good For You? doubles as Bob Mankoff's autobiography and an inside look at the cartoons in The New Yorker. Also an entertaining read!
I'll be joining up with Ginny to Yarn Along.


I never need a break from pink,but I do love your sock, xoxo Andrea @ This Knitted Life
