This week I am working on one knitting project, the Arrow socks that I based the rest of Leon's winter set on.
It's kind of fun to do the project that inspired the whole set last!
I blocked the scarf last night, and will get modelled photos of the whole set over the weekend.
As for books, I seem to have a few on the go!
I'm reading Spike Gillespie's Sit, Stay Heal about her meditation journey. She also has some tips, which is good, because I am slowly increasing my silent meditation practice. It has great effects, but sometimes it is so hard to discipline myself to sit quietly, when I could be doing something useful like knitting. Spike understands, she's a knitter too.
I am listening to Trans, A Memoir by Juliet Jacques. It's both a personal story and a bit of a potted history of the transgender movement. really great narrator and I'm enjoying it, as well as learning some things.
And on my Kindle I'm reading The Poppy War by R.F.Kaung.
It's the first in a three book series and I'm loving it. While we were away I had so much time to read, and I was barrelling through it, but now I have to choose between reading and knitting, and currently knitting seems to be winning. Luckily next Monday is a public holiday, so I'll have a bit more time to read and knit, and maybe sleep!
I'm joining in with Kat and Unravelled Wednesday. It looks like Ginny brought the Yarnalong back again last month, so I'm linking up there as well. hope you are also enjoying all the things you are reading and crafting this week.

Thank you for the heads up on Sit. Stay. Heal. I am off to see if my library has it! And, I love your Arrow Socks! (Sock theme these days in my house!)
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is wonderful! Love the color fluctuation in the yarn. You're off to a good start on the socks!
