Knitting along with Ginny this week...
I finished this little Helena Cardi last week, but took awhile to find an evening to weave in the ends. The more I work with this cardigan and this particular yarn (Knitpicks Swish DK) The more I like it. Great stitch definition, no felting or weird yarn behavior as I knit it up or shoved it in my purse to take along to soccer practices and music rehearsals.
I have a particular weakness for this misty gray on babies for some reason. And now that I know there is an adult version I may find myself knitting one in the near future.
My reading time has been in little bits- 2 or 3 pages here or there- but it's been spent on Insurgent by Veronica Roth these last few weeks. I've read a few duds in the YA Dystopian genre this year, but I'm glad to say that I've gotten along well with this series so far. It's a bit light compared to something like Hunger Games, but still a good read. I'm a bit lost on where to go next with Fiction. My limited evening time has been taken up with knitting and garden planning right now (I know- garden planning in November is weird, but I have to get it in when I have the time and especially since this will be brand new gardening space and needs far more advance planning.)
Now to get Baby Girl into this cardigan and see if she'll sit long enough for a photo!
