Really there is no theme this week, just reading, listening, knitting and spinning, and Stephen West mystery sock spoilers at the bottom of this post, so here's a picture of Willow relaxing on some just plied skeins of yarn.
I just finished Horse by Geraldine Brooks. It was amazing, I felt all the feels. I actually shed a tear at one point. To deal with that emotional book hangover I'm reading a quick non-fiction -Metronome (Object Lessons) by Matthew H. Birkhold (NetGalley review book) . It's acting as a good palette cleanser.
In audio I am working through my review books. I finished Cammy Sitting Shiva by Cary Gitter. So good. Family drama, coming of age and a bit of humour thrown in. Now I'm listening to Everyone's Seen My Tits: Stories and Reflections from an Unlikely Feminist by Keeley Hazel, which I guess is also a coming of age memoir with plenty of family drama and some humour too. Very different books, but I do feel quite lucky with the streak of really great books I'm in (for the moment at l3east, these things seem to come in waves).
In knitting clue two of the Delectable Collectable mystery sock was just the heel flap and gusset, so it didn't take long at all. I got one of this weeks clue (clue three) done today, and then it's going to be straight into the toe next week:
You can see the state of the spinning from the picture at the top of this post! I will eventually finish this jumper spin, but weeks and weeks of spinning oatmeal coloured wool is starting to feel a little endless, and my spinning focus has slipped a little because of all the other things.
I've just finished the top I've been knitting for what feels like a long time for such a small item, it's blocked and ready to take finished object photos. It's winter here, but we booked a trip to the Gold Coast (Queensland) for next month, so I might get to wear it then.
And that's Willow again, now helping with blocking. So beautiful, so helpful.
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 on BlueSky as Sharondblk.
I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday, Kat from the Bookdate for It's Monday, What Are You Reading and Sam from Taking on a World of Words for WWW Wednesday where we talk about what we are currently reading, what we have just finished and what we are going to read next.
Kitties sure love yarn, don’t they? The title, Everyone’s See My Tits, made me laugh. That’s exactly how I felt as I went through treatment for Triple Negative Breast Cancer so many years ago! 😊I love the colors and texture of your socks! Hugs to Willow!
