I am really happy with how Ponchetta turned out! I am not sure the weather will cooperate to let me wear it on our trip, but I am taking it along!
And, inches have been added and Nekia has been re-blocked. I am much happier with this length!
As for the currently knitting – I am working today on travel knitting. I am planning to only take in process projects with the idea that I will finish them. I am not sure this is such a great idea, and just in case I am taking a skein of sock yarn and sock needles. When in doubt, knit socks! Right?
As for the reading this week:
I finished The Brutal Telling and it was EXCELLENT! I gave it 5 stars and I am on the list at the library for Bury Your Dead, hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait!
I am well into Paul Auster’s 4321. Oh.My.Gosh. I am not sure how to even describe this novel but I am loving it and it is keeping me up late reading every night.
What about you? What are you making (or unmaking) this week!

Nekia looks great and super comfy! Love the colors in Ponchetta, too!
I usually fall back to making dish cloths when I travel. They keep my hands busy but I don’t have to think about it and can still look at what’s going by.
Oh, Kat, they are both beautiful! I do hope the weather is cool enough on your travels that you can wear Ponchetta. We all understand the problem of planning your travel knitting carefully. It’s important to pack that sock yarn insurance (even if we know that we probably won’t knit much at all). It’s best to be prepared! 🙂
Those are both great pieces–I bet you’ll wear your Ponchetta a lot. Have a great trip! And thanks for the paul Auster recommendation, I haven’t read hm in a long time and that’s a great reminder.
PS. Note to self: do not write comments and hit send before full caffeination. Apologies for typos, and for not knowing any adjective other than “great”. (I still meant it).
Both the ponchetta and the vest are FAB! Love, love, love! I am reading George and Lizzie and I am hoping to finish the caterpillar cocoon set today after work.
Hooray for finished (refinished?) projects! I hope you will get to wear Ponchetta before too long. The weather report for the weekend here sounded favorable, so I hope you have some cool weather for your trip.
Love ponchetta, the yarn colours and pattern look fantastic together, fingers are crossed that you get suitable weather to wear it.
Beautiful knitting. I think Louise Penny gets better as the series progresses. I thought The Brutal Telling was excellent and Bury Your Dead was even better. I am on the hold list at my library for The/A Beautiful Mystery. I have been listening to audio versions. My travel knitting is most often socks. Happy travels.
Great job of knitting both garments! They look very wearable, too. I’m going to give 4321 a try soon!
Ponchetta is GREAT! It reminds me a little of the shadow[]box that I knit a few years ago — I need to dig that out for another season of wearing. So cozy. Best of all, so easy to throw on!
