A very short post this week… I seem to be at the “in between stage” at lots of things!
Yes, I spent some of yesterday seaming up Deschain. Thank you, Mary for the fantastic suggestion on how to make the yarn work – splitting it worked perfectly!! Today is all about doing a bit of an in-the-round gauge swatching to see what size needles I will need to use for the sleeves! (Just sleeves and the neckline and this baby is done!!)
In the not going to be done soon category – I did find some time yesterday afternoon to work on Tegna – and I worked on it more at Knitting last night! It is truly to the “easy knit” stage and it will get lots of attention during March Madness so maybe I can get this done sooner than I am thinking! But, still, I have miles and miles and miles of knitting ahead of me on this one, so I don’t think that even all of March Madness will see this finished – but who knows!
I finished just one book this week – but what a book it was! I think that Kym was the person who put The Heart’s Invisible Furies on my radar. Her review was so excellent that I immediately got on the wait list for it and fortunately, I did not have to wait long!! I realize that it is only March, but I predict this will be in the top five of the best books I read this year. The writing is just fantastic. The story is compelling – so compelling I could not stop listening! I laughed often, and cried hard more than once. It gets 5-stars and really – you need to read this book, it is just that good!
I have several books going right now, and hopefully by next week I will have at least a couple of them done!
That is all I have for this week, and as always:
Thank you for your participation!
Sounds like March Madness will be perfect timing for your miles and miles of knitting. I’ve got a baby sweater I need to start and finish by early April – time to get cracking on that!
The Heart’s Invisible Furies looks so good…I’m off to search for it now (somehow I missed it on Kym’s blog). March Madness does seem perfect for your miles of knitting – enjoy!!
I can’t wait to see your finished Deschain — I predict it won’t take you very long at all to finish! And I think your Tegna will be excellent March Madness knitting. The difficulty will be in making sure you don’t knit too much!
I’m so glad you liked The Heart’s Invisible Furies. I so enjoyed it! XO
(And March Madness offers a perfect background for knitting.)
March madness time! Since I don’t watch basketball, totally off my radar. Do enjoy! and Knit on! Congrats on your knitting wins, too.
Cheers~
Sorry I missed the linkup yesterday … and I guess I’m also little late to suggest you hold off on the side seams of Deschain so you can knit the sleeves flat? (oops! I’ve decided I’m going to knit all my sleeves that way … so much quicker!) Marc said we’re watching March Madness starting tonight … glad I have my knitting ready to go 🙂
I don’t know how you get so much done but my hat is off to you. I’ve had a bit of a bump in the road but all is well again. I hope to get back to regular blogging and blog reading.
I’m not in between projects but my life currently has be drained by the time I sit down to knit. So I’m not knitting as much as I usually do. I hope that changes.
