Everything is going OK here. They wrapped the scaffolding, and it's a very light wrap, so that's surprisingly good. It doesn't look like they are planning to scaffold the side of the balcony right now. Allegedly we loose access to the balcony on Thursday, but that remains to be seen. Anyway, this feels like the last of the nice days, weather wise.
Knitting wise, I divided for the sleeves of Birkin this afternoon, which is always a fun moment, going from large numbers of colourwork stitches, to fewer stitches and plain. I'm going to repeat the leaf motif on the ends of the body and sleeves, just for the fun of it.
I'm reading This Terrible Beauty by Katrin Schumann. It's a review copy from NetGalley.

Set in post war East Germany and Chicago, this has a duel timeline. I'm not very far into it, but I am enjoying the writing, and how the story is developing.
As well as still listening to The Caine Mutiny (we'll be here for a while on this one folks!) I'm listening to Mishka Shubuly's This Van Could be Your Life, which is the novella/memoir of the road trip he took with his family last year. Since I am curiously obsessed with Mishka, I followed this along on Instagram. The audiobook is great - read by Mishka in his deep gravelly voice.
And that's been my week three in lockdown. Not too bad really. I hope you and yours are doing ok too.
I'm linking up with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday.
Love your Birkin!
ReplyDeleteYour Birkin is gorgeous! I'm also working on one right now and we're at almost the exact same spot! How funny!
