FO Friday

This week, I've finished two projects.

Flax by Tin Can Knits in Red Heart Super Saver "Cherry Red" and Caron Simply Soft "Black"

And an Olaf by Coleen Hays in Red Heart Super Saver "Soft White" Which still needs eyes, a carrot nose, and a mouth.

All Books, All the Time

Okay, so it's been well over a month since I've blogged, but I am going to get back into it! (Hopefully) thus lost is going to be all about books. She my last post, I've read about 11 books. Two of which I just finished today. I've been reading a lot, Can you tell? I'll (try to) write up my reviews for each book soon, but what I'm day for now is that I pretty much loved each one of them!

• Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich
• The Morganville Vampires vol 4 (books 7&8) by Rachel Caine
• Ghost Town by Rachel Caine
• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
• Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
• Double Identity by Margaret Peterson-Haddix
• The Ghost's Grave by Peg Kehret
• Cinder by Marissa Meyer
• Bite Club by Rachel Caine
• Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich
• Glitches by Marissa Meyer

The books I'm currently reading are

• The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne 
• The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber
• Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast 

I seriously recommend these books, especially the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Glitches, Cinder, The Queen's Army, Scarlet, & Cress), the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, and Double Identity, which is my favorite book of all time, with The Ghost's Grave at a close second. The Morganville Vampires series is pretty good, by extremely repetitive, so if you don't like that in a series, I don't recommend reading more than a few books.

That's all I have for now, I'll try to get those reviews written. I have a looking list of books I still need to review. I'll see y'all back soon for some knitting!

FO Friday

This week, I finished the last of the three pair of socks for my barter partner. They're in the orange blue brown variegated handspun and were knit on size 1(2.25mm)

I also finished a skein of the Joyful Sheep "Zebra" but it's in the 'wash' right now, so that photo will have to wait! For now, check out Tami's Amis for more FO Friday posts!

WIP Wednesday

Hello everyone, I know I've been gone for a VERY long time, but I will be getting back into blogging!! I have been working on some book review posts mainly, but decided to post a WIPW post!

Knitting

I've been knitting on another pair of barter socks, which I'm almost done with, in the orange, blue, brown variegated handspun on size US 1(2.25mm) needles. I've decided cuff down is just my cup-of-tea.

I've also cast on a Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig in Lost City Knits Oak Barn Merino Lace "Cocksure" on size US 6(4mm) needles. I have just enough yarn for this project, hopefully I make it to the end. The project isn't really holding my attention, since it's all just stockinette, but I really want the finished cardigan, so I'm going to power through. I'm knitting this for the Classic Must Knits KAL with Molly of the A Homespun House Podcast and Kristen of the YarnGasm podcast, and the A Night Bird Cardigan KAL with Clare of A Night Bird Podcast.

I've also been knitting on another pair of socks for my mom, they're in Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock "Tourmaline" on size US 1(2.25mm) needles. I really, really love this sock yarn.

Spinning

I've been spinning up the gray Merino fiber too, I finished part of it today. It's going to stay as a single (cobweb-lace weight) and fulled. Before fulling/washing the skein was 341 yards, hopefully it's at least 300 yards when it's dry.

Reading

I've started reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth, but I'm only on page 40 so far. I'll let you know how I'm liking it when I get farther in.

That's all I have for this week, I'll try to get a book review post out this weekend! I'll try to post more often! Check out Tami's Amis for more WIPW posts.

FO Friday

I'm writing this post on Wednesday, but you won't see it until Friday. This week, I finished my the Joyful Sheep "Superhero" at 449 yards, 2 ply, the grist came out to be about a sport weight, but at 1,796 yards per pound, I would call it more of a heavy fingering weight.

I also finished my mom's Socks on a Plane in Knit Picks Stroll "Cobblestone Heather" on size 1(2.25mm) needles.

As of Sunday, I won't be on the blog for at least a week, I'll be in the Caribbean on a cruise boat :) I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to post when I get back!
