This week has been odd because life in general has been quite nice - good weather, COVID numbers going down, a general sense of wellbeing, but the knitting and reading is a bit shaky. Unusual.
In knitting I put aside Leon's Jumper on Friday to make a tea cozy from my Mother-In-Law Kathy. I figured it would be done on the weekend. Well, it was struggletown for me. i couldn't get the stitch pattern quite right, and then I thought I had it, and it looked all right, but was not quite right, and not easy to work. I did some ripping, and re-hooked it and now it looks good and is nearly done. But I've only got the measurements she texted me, and there is not a lot of stretch in this so I'm worried it will be too small.
I'm also worried Leon's jumper will be too small. i had him try it on the other day and it's quite tight. he said he likes it, and I think the swatch grew, so I guess I'll persevere. What a drag.
In reading, I'm still reading John Birmingham's Weapons of Choice . It's a long book and lots of ugly things happen and it's not a very easy read. So, a slog, but not a bad read.
I'm also listening to Queenie, by Candice Carty-Williams. It took me a while to get into it, the first third is just a young woman making a series of bad decisions. But it's starting to feel like it's going somewhere now.
So that was my week. Full of things that were a little more challenging and draggy than expected, but quite pleasant outside that.As usual on a Wednesday I'm linking up with Kat from As Kat Knits, where we talk about what we've been knitting and reading and generally getting up to this week.
aren't some weeks just like that....you are probably guaranteed a perfect one this week!
ReplyDeleteSigh, some weeks nothing seems to work (which is a great reason to have multiple projects in the works!)
