Linky Wednesday - the one where it's getting lighter

Yes we have passed the winter solstice and the days are getting longer, if not warmer. For some reason, probably because I work from home 2 days a week and am not currently running in the mornings, it hasn't felt as dark as many other years. Leon's birthday was yesterday, and it always gets brighter from there. Enough about the weather, what have I been reading and knitting this week?

I've nearly finished listening  The Quitters Club by Jessica Strawser. Quality fiction about four old friends who make changes in their lives, I've really loved this book. I got approved for it after I said i was going to stop requesting audiobooks on NetGalley after a string of misses, but this is a real hit for me.

In eye-reads I finished  Friends of Dorothy by Sandi Toksvig. I felt like it was trying to do too much, so it had to go shallow. Now I'm reading Cherrywood by Jock Serong which is set in inner Melbourne in 1993, and thre is a magical dissapearing pub. I'm enjoying it, bit my focus has been more on listening and knitting than reading.

Next up I return to my NetGalley review books with The Followers by Maree Spratt, another Australian book, this one about a social media influencer and toxic friendships. 

I've been mainly knitting on my  Love Note. It knits up fast on 6mm needles.

I did have a knitting emergency on Saturday - I knew I was going to have a little bit of time to knit while out and about and I didn't want to carry this almost finished jumper around with me. I would have crocheted the baby booties from last week, but they are in a time out - not enough stitches, I don't know where they went. Crotchet is a mystery to me!

So I grabbed some dishcloth cotton and made a Tribble. It's so puffy and cute! I haven't used it yet, so I can't tell if it suits our washing up needs, but I just want to make them and give them to everyone!

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 linking up 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.
