Morgan's Christmas hat is flying off my needles this week. It's my handspun, requested by her before I was even through spinning it. Progress picture was my blissful respite of mama conversation and hot cups of tea during sling meet at soft play. :)
I also got a birthday crown knitted up for a friend.
And while the internet was down, I finished the Mortal Instruments series and I have a bone to pick with authors who finish a book on the more ludicrous kind of cliff hanger so you wonder if they just decided that their story was too long, "may as well make it into two books and get paid more!" Grr. Also, I read both The Last Runaway and The Shining Girls (both really wonderful and much more interesting than I expected them to be).
I'm much less productive when I have an internet connection. ;)
Joining in again for a weekly roundup of knitting and reading with Ginny and friends.
Hello!

Wow three books in a week, I have been reading the same one for weeks now! I love the crown is it your pattern?
ReplyDeleteThe crown is a can't-remember-where-I-found-it pattern. You might have luck searching on Ravelry! :)
DeleteI read those three mostly in evenings with baby nursing to sleep, but The Shining Girls was a good afternoon of reading while the girls had a Mario tournament.
So glad you enjoyed my recommendations. I really enjoyed the Shining Girls, and thought you would too. I also really liked the Last Runaway, but didn't think it would be your cuppa, but I knew you're always on the lookout for new books. Can you see now why I want a billion quilts and blankets? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the books and do what you feel suitable in terms of passing them on.x
I love that crown! And my goodness, you are like a reading ninja ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I must get hold of those books, I'm still recovering and not allowed to do anything so lots and lots of reading for me :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are ok Sarah <3 xxx
If you can wait for the books for a week I'd be delighted to mail them to you! <3
DeleteOh, can I borrow the mortal instrument books? Am now about halfway through the second one and do want to read the others eventually.
DeleteYou'd be welcome to, except that I loaned them to Emma so you'll have to wait for her to finish first! She doesn't yet have the fifth book, and I'm not sure if she started book four yet, but I know she's getting through them quite fast. :)
DeleteFair enough. Will take me a while before I'm ready for them.
DeleteI'd love to read them whenever is good for everyone :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove the birthday crown.
