Time to take a look back at the books I read in the month of…
Unraveled, February 11th, 2026
Joining in with Kat and my fellow knitters and readers again this week!
I am continuing to make progress on the Waffle Pullover for the MDK Bang Out a Sweater effort. I am currently in the last round of yoke increases and should be on track and ready to divide the divide the body and sleeves for the next Zoom session this Friday. It’s been a lot of knitting but it’s also been a terrific experience so far. I have to say, I haven’t felt this engaged with a knitting project in a very long time and it’s nice to feel the pull of wanting to get-right-back to a project again.
As for reading, yesterday I finished Good People by Patmeena Sabit. This was an ARC from NetGalley but it was published last week so it’s available now. Later today I plan to start Kin by Tayari Jones, another ARC. Honestly, it’s an embarrassment of riches for me with ARC titles right now as I have 8 titles on my shelf. They are nicely spread out with publication dates, too, which is making me feel excited and not pressured about reading them.
What are you knitting and reading this week?

I love your Waffle color combination! Looking forward to seeing it finished.
You are doing way better than I am on my sweater!! I am still miles to go before I will be dividing anything! Ha! I have an embarrassment of riches of ARC’s right now as well! It is a very good problem to have!
Your sweater is looking great! You’ve probably got plenty of waffle knitting ahead, and I’ll be anxious to see your progress. Eight ARCs would make me nervous! I’ve got three to finish and that has made me swear off requesting any more for a while. I’ll be interested in your thoughts on Good People; I’ve still got about a third to finish.
Your Waffle Pullover is looking good, Carole! I really like the pattern and seeing the way it just . . . keeps going. I always find top-down raglan sweaters tedious . . . until the sleeve divide, so this is no different to me than other top-down raglans. And I like having the slip-stitch contrast pattern because it’s so obvious to see any errors and fix them quickly. (Unless, of course, you drop a stitch. Like, umm, an increase stitch. Then there’s trouble! Don’t ask.) I’m looking forward to reading Good People. I read Kin as an ARC and I’ll be eager to hear what you think!
I love seeing all the Waffles out there! It’s looking great, Carole!
You are going to have a great sweater, and it seems a great experience at the end of this project. It’s looking good, Carole.
I’m reading an ARC of Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth. Your waffle sweater looks great.
Your Waffle looks fabulous Carole! Go you!! So many books is a wonderful thing…not a problem.
