yarn along :: a new book and a new shawl



happy yarn along wednesday! so glad i get to join in today, too many wednesdays just went by with me remembering in the late afternoon that i might have posted...

so, what's new on the knitting and reading front? i finished Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee and (as many others) have mixed feelings about it. the circumstances leading to the publication of this book along with the fact that it was written before To Kill a Mockingbird and was actually rejected by the publishers at the time makes it hard for me to form an opinion. i think it would have been really great if this was an actual sequel. but it's not, so i just regard it as a piece of literature that i as an english literature graduate felt compelled to add to my required reading list.

i am yet to start Light Between Oceans in german, my mum just read it and as always i trust her taste.

i have a lot of wip's going, so why not start another one? Rachel of house full of jays and i have decided to have another kal, a shawl again. this time, it's the Trillian shawl and i'm knitting it up in wonderful Hedgehog Fibres handdyed sock yarn. the colors are a little on the pale side, but i think i will love wearing the shawl with darker sweaters and cardigans.

what are you knitting and reading right now? joining ginny's yarn along.

One can never have too many WIPs in my opinion. Enjoy!

I haven't read Go Set A Watchman, I'm not sure I want to, but I have heard really good things about Light Between Oceans.

I have two wip's, that's enough for me, otherwise I get jittery. :)
