So I’ve been reading and knitting and crocheting and not posting about it! I have two works in progress to share this week and one book.
I started on the first Nalu Mitt back in April, and I cannot recall what other project distracted me from them. They are relatively quick and intuitive once you get going. I’m using Dale Garn Heilo for the first time and so far so good. 100% Norwegian wool, very warm. I ordered the yarn from Kidsknits.com, as no local shops here have it, and I would totally shop with them again! Shipping was quick and I even received an email after my purchase from the owner that the yarn was in stock and would be sent out quickly. I plan to cast off this one and then get started right away on the mate.
By way of Instagram, I was completely taken by Shannon Squire’s Mean Girls pattern, and immediately thought of the neon pink Manos del Uruguay Fino that is in my stash. I know, not my usual choice of color, but I’m really loving grey + every color (especially neon). No surprise, I cast on and I’m really loving it. Hopefully I will stick with it and be able to have it count for a KAL with the eatsleepknit.com yarnathon (Go Whaliens!)
As you can see, the book I’m currently reading is The Interestings. I’m sad to say it is becoming anything but interesting. I was taken in to the story in the beginning, but 225 pages in and I am starting to skim the pages. That’s not a good sign. Sorry Meg, I don’t know if I have it in me to finish the second half.
You are not the first person to have that opinion about the book. I have been tempted to pick it up but I heard that so many were bored with it. You do, however, have many great things on the needles!
Your knitting looks fun!
I so agree about the book, though. I thought a better title would have been _The Predictables_. I guessed the direction every character would go, then looked through the back to see if I was right. I was. It was typical, self-centered boomer literature, IMO.
