Yarn Along

Reading: To All the Boys I've Loved Before, by Jenny Han. YA contemporaries aren't usually my thing, but I always thought the premise of this one sounded cute. (A girl writes letters to guys that she has a crush on, and then puts them away with no intention of sending them...until one day they accidentally get mailed.) I'm about halfway through and it's good so far. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good (and clean) as far as YA goes. I've been pleasantly surprised with how there's just as much (or more) focus on the relationships between the sisters and their dad as there is on the romantic relationships.  

Knitting: I just started this month's pair of socks. I'm using the yarn and pattern that I won in last month's giveaway: Quince & Co.'s Chickadee yarn for the Irish Oats pattern. I just cast on yesterday, but after taking this photo I knitted several more inches (starting into the cable design). This yarn is so lovely and the pattern is very addictive and easy to memorize! I have a feeling I'm going to be knitting this pattern again. :)  I'm also still working on my Onward shawl (knitting the fifth of six sections) and I made a couple of baby gifts over the weekend that I'll probably share soon.
