After I made a TikTok explaining why libraries pay significantly more for e-books than consumers…
Unraveled, July 29th, 2026
Joining with Kat and friends today to update you on my knitting and reading this week.
I have made forward progress on the sock, having finished the leg, heel, and gusset. Now (hopefully) it’s just a matter of cruising along on the foot. I will say, the dark color is challenging when watching television.
I finished Margo’s Got Money Troubles and A Box Full of Darkness and they were both terrific vacation reads. I am now reading The Amateur, Chris Bohjalian’s new book which will be published on August 4th. It is so good. Compelling and fast paced with a narrator that is sarcastic and biting and damaged in all kinds of wonderful ways. I think it’s his best book since Midwives and that’s saying something.

Sock looks great, but I am very challenged to knit with dark yarns these days. One of the many vicissitudes of aging. Thanks so much for the recommendation for the Amateur! I agree, the Midwives was his best novel for me thus far.
Your sock looks great despite the dark yarn presenting a challenge. I felt the same way about The Amateur! I was quite surprised that I was so enthralled by a book about golf and Mira is a great main character.
I like those socks, Carole! But I hear you on dark yarn in the evening woes… sigh. I don’t think you have said what pattern you are using for them? Would you be so kind as to share it? XO
