No picture of the balcony or the cupboards this week - the balcony is progressing, but looks exactly the same as last week, and the kitchen cupboards are coming next Wednesday, so that's the state of the renovations.
Our lockdown is gradually getting lifted, with bigger groups allowed to congregate and gyms (hopefully) reopening on the 22nd of June. I'm working at home until at least the end of June. After that, we shall see.
In these crazy times at least I can rely on three things:
Knitting: Sleeve Island is going well:
I'm halfway through - the stitch marker at the top marks the halfway mark. I would have gone one stripe further, but I was weighing my yarn as I went and it was clear I would run out if I went further. It's a bit strange, since I starting with exactly the amount of yarn the pattern called for, and I have shortened the arms by 10cm each. Still, it's a beautiful, distracting knit that is interesting enough to keep my attention, but not too demanding. And the yarn (knit picks Bare Hare) is a pleasure. Soft and fuzzy and so warm.
Reading: is actually happening! I'm reading The Last Emperox by John Scalzi. It's the third in a series, so no surprises, but i highly recommend it. it's a space-opera about the imminent collapse of a civilisation, and despite this it is light and silly and funny.
Audio-books: I finished The Caine Mutiny. I took me two months - it's a long book, but worthwhile. Full review here. Next up is untamed, by Glennon Doyle, a very different kind of listen. i've only just started

I've only just started it, but I love her voice. And look at that cover!
As usual on a Wednesday I'm linking up with Kat and the rest of the Unravellers. Check it out over at As Kat Knits.
That is a gorgeous cover on the Glennon Doyle novel! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty sleeve!
