It’s Wednesday – halfway in the week, halfway between Nate’s birthday and his party. Dinosaurs, of course.
I’ve made decent progress on my projects but you can’t really see a difference. 50 rows done on Nate’s blanket and I’m ready to start the heels on my super socks. I’ve just received the yarn for a new sample knit (in a medical supply box, recycling is fun), and I’m continuing to knit away on the other sample knit. I’ve also been weaving on the Zoom Loom! I have a Chameleon Critter Kit from the Woolery and am making it as part of the Zoom Along in August in their Ravelry group. The squares do not take long to make, I just need to devote more time to it. The yarn is Mountain Colors and it is a lot of fun to see how the colors mix when you weave with the yarn!
I finished devoured the rest of 11/22/63 in two power sessions of reading. I had to find out what happened! When I think of Stephen King books I think of good stories but wishy-washy endings. Not always of course, but frequently I have felt let down because it’s like he gave up on it. Not the case with this one. I was satisfied with the ending. I would highly recommend this book, it was fantastic, interesting, full of twists that I didn’t see coming, and had chilling moments that kept me thinking about it long afterwards. Now I feel a bit let down about what to read next. I am a bit shy of being halfway through a Jodi Picoult book (Picture Perfect), but I half-heartedly started it before we went away, and I feel like I’m only half-heartedly reading it because it’s here. I have two other books out from the library as other possible “next-reads”: Now & Then and The Girls but they were just random books I picked up.
