The knitting doesn't look very exciting this week, but it's been pretty satisfying. I'm up to the decreases on a charity hat (number 3 of 10)
I've just started mittens to match the Peerie Flooers hat I was knitting last week - I haven't blocked the hat, so no photos of that yet. It's really pretty, and these gloves will be too, when they get a bit more knitting on them!
The reading has been high quality. I'm reading another NetGally review book, and loving it. The Songbook of Benny Lament by Amy Harmon, is the story of Benny and Esther a bi-racial musical couple. It's a book about families (his is mafia, hers is in their band) and race and music.It reminds me a little of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, in the plot device of telling the story to a journalist (in this case a radio DJ) and also Utopia Avenue, even though this book is set in a different country and hasn't (yet) descended into magical realism. It's a rollicking read, and I'm pretty close to the end and very curious to see how this is going to get wrapped up, with so little time to go.
I'm joining in with Kat and the rest of the Unravellers over at As Kat knits. Pop over and see what they are up to. And come back here on Friday if you want to know what the hat looks like when it's blocked, and what I learnt from knitting it.
Eager to see your Peerie Flooers hat and mitts, I have always like that pattern. Wishing you a great week.
