I am knitting another little top down sweater with a pattern from Elizabeth Zimmermann's book, Knitter's Almanac.
This one I am making more of the yoke in garter stitch and then am going to switch to a shade of purple for the rest of the body and make long sleeves.
I am ready a really great book that I found at a library book sale, As soon as I read the recommendation on the back by Barbara Kingsolver, I was hooked. It is a memoir in which the author at age 50, questions many widely held assumptions of our culture. While I certainly don't agree with all of her views, I appreciate her rawness, her honesty, and her beautiful writing. Has anyone read this? I would love to hear what you thought.
Here is a quote:
"Sometimes speedy life whizzes you along so fast that nothing registers, like landscape from a speeding car or meaning in a speed-read text, so that every saving in time is paid for in lost experience."
Joining Ginny today.
