I finished my birthday socks--not quite in time for my birthday, alas. I was about ten rounds short. But they are complete and I am wearing them now. I would post pictures but socks are remarkably hard to photograph when they're on your own feet. ;)
I am waiting for yarn to come in for a sweater for Michael, and have finished a sweater and blanket apiece for the twins, so for the past few days I've been knitting hexipuffs from the leftover sock yarn.
Surprisingly, I am still reading Anna Karenina. Perhaps I will stick with it after all. I didn't want to be in the middle of a massive Russian novel when the twins were born, but who knows? Maybe I'll finish it before then. (Probably not.) The other two books are These Beautiful Bones by Emily Stimpson and Small Steps for Catholic Moms by Danielle Bean and Elizabeth Foss. I won both of these in giveaways--one on Goodreads, one through Ginny's blog--and am excited about both of them, particularly since I probably would have bought These Beautiful Bones anyway.
Both those skeins are Tosh DK--one in Antler, one in Betty Draper's Blues--and I am not sure what to do with them. Originally they were intended for a Milo for Michael. Now I am wondering if they should go into Milos or Puerperiums for the twins. What do you think?
In case you're wondering why that last picture was blurry ... I had to work fast. |
Linking up with Ginny for her yarn along!
That's a lot of yarn, so I bet you could knit for all three! Planning and dreaming is the best part. Congrats on winning books!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning great books! Love the yarn! Can't wait to see what you decide to make!
ReplyDeleteYes, hurry up with the house pictures ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the puerperiums.
Are those "real" books and not eBooks? If so, and if it comes recommended by you, might I borrow the Stimpson book sometime?
