With the power being out recently, I actually got a lot of knitting done. It's one activity that didn't require much electrical input at all; just a bit of light to see by. The socks I'm knitting for my Mom are coming right along. As you can see by the picture (taken Saturday), sock #1 is done, and sock #2 had a couple of repeats on the foot completed.
I don't have an updated picture (more phone problems, being as it's over 4 years old and the battery also seems to have a bad cell in it, I'm thinking it might be time to upgrade before DH and I go on vacation later this month), but as of last night I finished the toe decreases and only need to do the grafting before the sock is finished.
The book in the picture, I didn't actually read much of. I started it about mid-week, but just really couldn't get into it. On Sunday afternoon I gave myself permission to set it aside and try a different book. I am currently reading Ann Hazelwood's The Forgiving Quilt. and am enjoying it more than I thought I would.
Books that I did read all the way through in the past month were:
- A Mother's Rule of Life by Holly Pierlot, which I talked a bit about in February's knitting update.
- The Woman in the Camphor Trunk by Jennifer Kincheloe. Another Anna Blanc mystery series, I sure hope the author writes more! This book was funny, kept me guessing, hard to put down, and just a fun read in general.
