Joining with Kat and friends today to talk knitting and books.

I started a sock yesterday. I don’t know what the yarn is, I found it all ready to go in a bin in my studio. And, since I was short on time and had a meeting to attend directly after work, I grabbed it and cast on. I only realized this morning that the yarn is Cider Moon Glacier in the color Stir Fry. It’s a DK, which is not what I typically use for socks. We’ll see if I continue or it I decide to turn this into something else.

(Side note, I started the Purl Soho Saltwater Bandana on Kym’s recommendation but left the project at the camper. Whomp whomp.)

As for reading, I finished Partita by Barbara Kingsolver and I’ll just say this for now: 5 stars. No notes. I started Every Story is a Love Story by Imbolo Mbue and it’s quite good but my reading time has been limited this week so I haven’t gotten very far.

What are you making and reading right now?

  1. I was struggling to find a book that really clicked but Data Empire is ticking lots of boxes and I am really enjoying it! I love the colors of that yarn… whatever it wants to be!

  2. That is pretty yarn! When we were going back and forth from MD to NJ, I always had to make sure I had my knitting and started keeping dishcloth cotton in both places just in case I forgot. I will look forward to seeing what color you chose for your Saltwater Bandana. I was surprised to get Partita on Edelweiss and now I’m resenting everything that interrupts my reading. It’s so good!

  3. That’s a great fall yarn! I have yet to knit DK-weight socks, but I’ve heard they are really squishy and delightful, so I do want to try it soon (probably holding fingering double). I can’t wait to read the new Barbara Kingsolver!

  4. If we were back to Book Bingo, you’d have mastered the square for match-your-knitting-to-your-book-cover there, Carole! The yarn is really lovely – and such a happy color combo. I hope the socks work out! (And you won’t believe how many times I’ve forgotten my project – or part/tool of/for a project – with me when I go back-and-forth from one “house” to the other. So. Maddening. But also temporary.)

  5. The yarn is lovely. If it doesn’t want to be socks, it would make a great pair of fingerless mitts. I am so looking forward to Kingsolver’s new book.
