It's been a good week, so far. After my "knit four things in a week" craziness last week I started a pair of Rachel Coopey socks on Sunday night. It's been a while since I knit lace socks, and I'm loving it. I did manage not to knit at lunch time for a couple of days, but blew it today!
I'm particularity loving knitting in my own hand-dyed yarn again.
In reading, I started and finished R.H. Herron's Stolen Things. Check out that front cover, isn't it marvelous?
The book itself is great. Fast paced and thrilling and a tiny bit silly while still raising very serious issues. I highly recommend. And then I read another e-Arc, courtesy of NetGalley, We have Always Been Here, another great cover:
It's the memoir of Samra Habib, a gay, Moslem, immigrant to Canada, and the first half was really good, but the last part has descended into identity politics and lectures about representation. It's fine, but kind of tedious. And that's my week!
As usual on a Wednesday I'm joining in with Kat and the gang, over at As Kat Knits.

Thanks for the Stolen Things recommendation. I've added it to my list.
