Our "State of Emergency" has been lifted. That's the legal term. I'm very worried about how excited everyone is - the idea is that you can see people, not that you should visit everyone you know. I am pretty happy to go see my parents this weekend. We'll see how it goes. Our infection rates here have been very low, but we've seen that change very quickly in some places.
The renovations continue. The cats seem to feel the need to supervise, particularly when it is loud.
It looks the same as last week, but they have actually been working very hard.
I finished a couple of knitted things (pop back Friday, I'll catch up with a FO post), and started a pair of Joji's Flores socks. She is selling the pattern to raise money for a women's shelter she supports, and I thought it would go well with my failed attempt at speckle yarn. I've only just knit the first one, but the colour was even more full on than I expected.
And then I realised I was going to run out of yarn, so I'm doing the toes in a plain. Crazy and fun.
In the last couple of days I have actually spent some time reading, and enjoying The Bridge.

It's quite intense, covering topics like death, culpability, diet culture, mental illness, gentrification and more. Which makes it sound like a laundry list, but it's actually not that complex. I'm definitly looking forward to seeing it develop.
I'm slowly listening to The Caine Mutiny. It turns out the actual mutiny is not really the point. My father loves this book, and I can see why, since it's a very legal book.
Leon and I are loving American Gods. In fact, we barely watch TV, we are too busy listening to this book!
I hope you are staying safe and well.
As usual on a Wednesday, I'm linking up with Kat who hosts Unravelled on As Kat Knits.
Those socks look fun I like the colors. Good they are making progress on your balcony and entertaining your cats!
ReplyDeleteI love that speckle yarn! Wow, great job! :) (and I think I need to get American Gods on my read soon list!)
