The days have been truly glorious and we even had a light sweater weather bonus yesterday! Sunny, breezy, and mild temperatures meant my Marsa Alam got some wear-time! Sorry for the truly pathetic photo – I am not sure if that is the fault of the photographer or the fault of the photographee (I will be kind and take the blame) but trust me when I tell you, this sweater is a winner! I shared my notes and things I would slightly alter here, if you are interested!
I can’t seem to stop with the Coast though and my Screen Door is just flying along! It is the perfect little palate cleanser before diving into a more substantial project. I am at the “half-way” point as the pattern suggests, but it feels a bit short to me, so I am doing 5 more pattern repeats and see how it feels then. Stay tuned!
Now for the reading!!
No bingos yet, but I managed to cross off three more books on my card! And, these were three wonderful reads! I loved them all – The Night Circus and The Ninth Hour each got 4-stars. The Road Back To You had quite an impact and I gave it 5-stars, but I feel like I have just started down the Enneagram Rabbit Hole! I have queued up several podcasts to listen to as I delve deeper into the subject. It is really quite a fascinating way to look at personality.
As always, if you wrote a post to share this week, please leave your link below!
Thank you!
Your sweater looks fantastic on you! I think you finished it at the perfect time — it’s definitely light sweater weather this week!
That’s a great sweater and it looks very good on you! Glad you got to wear it this week.
The Screen Door looks wonderful too.
Kat! Your Marsa Alam is so pretty (love the color) and looks so good on you (cute top underneath it also – did you make that??). Your Screen Door will be really nice as well. Once again you’ve been reading like the wind! You will have bingo (or 2 or 3) in no time!!
I think your sweater looks lovely! I also like how you appear to be hiding from the paparazzi by wearing your sunglasses. 😉
Your Marsa Alam looks lovely and Screen Door seems to be perfect summer knitting! You’ve sung the praises of Coast enough that I just may be ordering some for myself soon. And Book Bingo! I wonder how many cards you’ll cover this year? 🙂
Your sweater looks great and I hope you enjoy wearing it! I’m off to kind of a slow start on my summer book bingo this year, but have read some good books so far.
I think your sweater looks great and it’s a terrific photo. Hooray for summer reading!
LOVE-LOVE the sweater. Well done. I’m 30 minutes from the end of the Road Back to You and have found it very fascinating. So much so I’ve bought the hard copy so I can go back through it and really take it in.
I think the photo is great. The sweater fits well and is very pretty. I enjoyed both The Night Circus and The Ninth Hour. McDermott is a good writer. I may follow Bonny’s lead. I have read so much about the Coast yarn, I really want to give it a try.
Great sweater, Kat — and . . . what’s wrong with the photo? I think it’s great! Happy reading! XO
you look so pretty!! I love the sweater and of course seeing you in it, it fits perfectly and in a lovely shade of blue.
SO CUTE!!! Your sweater is gorgeous.
How is the Screen Door coming along? You might’ve talked me right into buying said pattern…just sayin’…;)
Isn’t it grand that we are having “sweater weather!” Love these “rare June days” and that you get to show off your latest knit creations…the new one on the needles is lovely, too!
Looking forward to reading your Book Bingo reviews.
Cheers~
I can’t believe how long your hair is!!! and Marsa Alam looks fantastic … as does your Bingo card. WOW!
Your sweater and shawl are going to be lovely although it is too hot here to imagine wearing a sweater
Your sweater is classically beautiful! It’s one I would wear and wear! Your shawl is a perfect style to wear in warmer weather. I love watching your reading (you’re a fast reader!) and seeing what’s on your summer slate. Yay for book bingo!
I love your sweater. You look so nice in it. I am also making Screen Door with the same yarn. I saw Mary’s on Instagram and ordered the yarn. It is so nice and great price.
Your sweater and you are gorgeous. What a nice knit and I love the blouse underneath! I loved The Nineth Hour too.
