The knitting is going, and going well. Swancho has many stitches, but very simple colourwork, so it is soothing and nice. Although colourwork in 8-ply might end up very, very warm.
The reading is a bit bumpier. I finished Knitlandia by Clara Parks, and in the end I did not love it. It was shallow, name-droppy and dated. I have not yet started by next audio-book, which is a NetGalley review copy of Our Wild Farming Life, the story of a couple who move to the Scottish highlands. I'm looking forward to it.
I've started and abandoned a review copy Love and Other Puzzles by Kimberly Allsopp. It's meant to be a romantic comedy, but I hated the main character so much I hoped the book would end with her dead in a ditch. I quit at 40 %, and I'm still ranting about what a rude, heartless, selfish person she was. Cute cover though.
And that's my week in reading and knitting. To read my all my book reviews, and to see everything I knit, you can find me on Ravelry as Sharondoubleknit and on GoodReads as Sharondblk.
I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday and Kat from the Bookdate for It's Monday, What Are You Reading. Thanks Kat and Kat for hosting these linkups.
Wow! The Swancho is really coming along quickly. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe cover of that book is cute..pity about the contents!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting, and I am curious about Love and Other Puzzles. Enjoy your week, and here are my WEEKLY UPDATES
ReplyDeleteDead in a ditch? That is a strong reaction to a fictional character. I'd have quit the book too. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
