Yarn Along


Reading: As You Wish, by Cary Elwes. I'm so excited about this book! The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies, so of course I love reading behind-the-scenes stories about it. I'm several chapters in and it's good so far.

Knitting: Since I finished my niece's sweater, I finally picked up my Miette cardigan again (not that you can tell anything about it from this dark photo!). I had one sleeve completed and was halfway through with the second one, but I realized I wasn't happy with them. Because I had cast on extra stitches under the arm, I was having to decrease at twice the rate to get rid of those stitches, and it was making my sleeves look oddly shaped. At first it didn't bother me much, but I finally decided I'd rather do it the right way now instead of later regretting the awkward sleeves. Ugh...I hate having to redo knitting, but it won't take long. And after I fix the sleeves, I only have the button bands and neckline edging left! :)
