I know, I'm late to the reading party of this book but hey, better late than never.  I started this book a few days ago and immediately fell in love with Gilbert's writing style and the rhythm of the plot as the introduction of characters unfolded.  Have you read it?  I'm glad I started. My knitting has been almost the same, the striping of my fair isle hat is coming along nicely.  The lack of significant progress, I'll blame on the busy week for my lack of time to knit.  I am nearing the finish line of my Hitofude , fingers crossed I have a finished post next week.  I also finished my imagine when shawl and had every intention to write up a post BUT the shawl ran small so I am in the middle of blocking it to gain some growth.  I'm a bit grumbly about the blocking of garter stitch, I tend not to block that stitch pattern so as to retain the squish factor. What are you knitting and reading this week? Joining Ginny and Frontier Dreams

Hitofude Cardigan Progress Week Four

Image
I am still knitting the skirt portion of the hitofude cardigan .  I think I just might be finished by next Tuesday if I continue to have the time I think I have to work on it. As you know I'm loving the knit and yes, the lace pattern is quite easy to memorize! Oh to have the skill of knitting while sleeping and driving and cooking :)

Weekends are for memory making,  relaxing and enjoying quiet moments of our days.   If you would like, please share your weekend moments  in the comment section with a link to your blog. This weekend was: -busy-a bit of traveling and seeing family, some I haven't seen for over fifteen years -eating in the car while trying not to drip food on dress clothes, quite the challenge but the challenge was met -once again spending time with my sister, an outing, a knitting bag purchase (vera bradley tote) -convincing my husband that I did indeed need another bag.... -quick stop at my dad's and capturing the sunflowers sunshiney smiles :) -returning to list making and plotting out the week -digging deeply into the freezer for some chili to eat on Football Sunday -wishing I was watching ANYTHING but football How was your weekend?  I'd love to read all about it.
