I am working on two projects this week,
the first is an sofa arm cover for a dear
friend who has a white sofa and a grey
cat. I am using Paton's Grace yarn in
Natural and basically am just knitting
a long rectangle with a small ribbing
around the edge...easy, easy.
My second project is a sock using the
beautiful yarn I won from a giveaway
hosted by the lovely Donna of Knit1Spin2.
For this sock I cast on 64 stitches on size 1
dpn's and am doing a knit 3, purl 1 pattern
all the to the toes.
My reading this week is really good. I am
reading Sister, a novel .
It is the story written in letter form from
one sister to another describing the events
of what takes place when one of them
is missing. The setting is in London so
it's interesting to read the differences of
how they look for missing people compared
to the US. So far I am loving it and I
am hoping the ending is as good as the
beginning, I will let you know.
Joining Ginny.
Hi Tracey,
ReplyDeleteThe colors in the sock yarn are gorgeous; so Spring-like!
I love stories that are written in letter form. Sort of like blog posts, as I think of those as a letter to friends. Thx. xo Tammy
I started knitting some socks this week! The stitches are so tiny, I don't know how far I will get with it...your book sounds awesome. One I will definitely be adding to my list.
