Happy Summer Solstice!
It is the best day of the year with more daylight hours to knit and read by! Amirite?!
On the reading front, I am close to finishing 2 books; The Hanging (which I am listening to) and The Other Einstein (which I am reading on my Kindle). Both are excellent and even without finishing them, I can tell you that I highly recommend them both! I will have reviews for both next week!
Last night I picked up Spycatcher from my library. This is for my “banned outside the US” Bingo Square. I can’t wait to crack this book open! And, this book will bring me my first bingo of the summer!! So, my summer reading is going exceedingly well!
Up next in my ears will be Lincoln on the Bardo, which I am also looking forward to!
On the knitting front things are also going very well. I am cruising along on Stillwater #1 and, wait for it… yes, I began swatching for Stillwater #2 which I will cast on June 30th and join in with a little KAL led by the designer. Yes, I have lost my mind!
I am anxiously awaiting Mystery KAL clue #2, which will be out tomorrow. Clue one is done and I like it very much!
What are you making this week? And, how is your reading going?

HOORAY for summer! Long days and reading and knitting! I read The Lottery for my banned outside the US square and it was great. I’ve got a bunch of squares checked off but no bingo in sight just yet.
Yay for more daylight (but not muggy temps…)! I have The Other Einstein on my Kindle…need to get thru The Nix and South of Broad first. Is your second Stillwater going to be the 4-day madness????
I hope you’ve got a great audiobook lined up for your Stillwater Summer; it will be good company during the KAL. This may be the summer of extreme reading and knitting for you, but you can do it!
I am slowly working my way through “The Secret History” — I think I’m about 130 pages in, with quite a bit still to go. I am really enjoying it, though, even though I feel like it will take me ages to finish!
You are rockin’ the book bingo game!
Congratulations on your first Bingo!
We had the most amazing sunset in celebration of the solstice. My reading is slow (but I will get two Bingos this year) and my knitting slower. I have started TTLMKAL, but only just.
I’m about 2/3 the way through the 1st clue of the TTL MKAL and have made progress on a shawl for my niece…it is nice to enjoy knitting again! I have been reading some great books, but no bingo yet. I’m currently reading The Nature Fix and am finding I want to read & knit outside!
Made major progress on my MKAL this morning and should be ready for clue 2 tomorrow. I don’t normally knit two-colored shawls, but I’m enjoying this!
I just love the color combinations of your yarns. So rustically fall. 🙂
Also, just wanted to say thank you for hosting Unraveled Wednesdays. I really enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing.
