The Covid numbers continue to rise, the lockdown continues to be boring, the sun is shining and it's Wednesday, which means I'm joining Kat and the Unravellers to blog about what we've been reading and crafting this week.
And it's been a pretty good week in both reading and knitting.
I've continued with the Teroldego Shawl. It's a lot less contrasty than many people's, or what I would usually choose, but I like it.
What I didn't realise when choosing the pattern is that it is stocking stitch. Other than not loving to pearl long stretches, I think that this shawl is not going to properly double sided. I find that odd. Anyway, I've just finished the very long swathe of stripes, and now it's onward to some lace!
I started Elizabeth Strout's Amy and Isabelle a couple of days ago. I couldn't work out what I wanted to read, so I went for this because it was the oldest book on my Kindle. I'm enjoying it so far, family drama set in small town 1970s America.
I also started listening to Zero Day Code by John Birmingham. It's been on my radar for a while - I almost started it at the beginning of the first lockdown, but I thought a book about food scarcity and the end of the world wouldn't help me be centred and calm.
Now felt like the time, and I'm enjoying it very much, even if the concepts are scary because they seem so likely.
I hope you are enjoying your week, and that your crafting and reading is treating you well.
