I haven't had much time but I have been able to get a tiny bit done. I finished the other books I was reading (if you haven't read Sarah Bessey's Out of Sorts, it's definitely worth it) and so I picked up again on a couple of books that I have been meaning to get to. Simply Tuesday, by Emily Freeman, is a book from a theme of my reading that comes up every so often - trying to get out from under the frenzied pace of my life. I haven't gotten very far but I am finding that I am enjoying this book so far. In terms of fiction, I had a bit of trouble getting into Go Set a Watchman, which I have been meaning to read forever but that has definitely changed, as proven by the bags under my eyes at work today. I can't put it down. There is just something about Harper Lee's writing that speaks to me and I love her characters.
In terms of knitting, I'm working on several things, as well. I finished the other pair of legwarmers and they ended up being too small, as I suspected (it helps to read the carefully enough to know the sizing BEFORE you have knit half of the project). Now, I have started the larger size of these Gap-inspired Leg Warmers and I'm really enjoying knitting these. The pattern is easy, the cables look lovely and it's simple enough that I don't have to look at the pattern now. I also have a baby blanket project that I'd like to get going (although I know it's probably a lofty goal) that I have started. I'll share more later but there have been several babies born at church lately and I'd love to give each a blanket.
I can't wait to see what everyone else is working on!
Those cables looks so pretty! I love knitting baby blankets, such a good chance to break out the fun yarn! :)
