Yarn Along

Reading: Paris in Love, by Eloisa James. This is a memoir written by a lady who took a sabbatical from her work and moved with her husband and two kids to Paris for a year. I'm really liking it so far. I wasn't sure about the style at first: the book is made up of very brief anecdotes that are only about a paragraph long each (they're adapted from her Facebook and/or Twitter posts at the time, apparently?), and every once in a while there might be one that has been expanded into a page or two. Sometimes it feels choppy, but overall it makes for very quick reading. And some of the stories are quite funny. :)

Knitting: More socks this week, of course! I finished the first of this pair at the beginning of the month, but I didn't cast on the second one until after I finished my handspun socks. Now I'm nearly at the end of this second sock...I'm hoping I'll finish it tonight. {Edit: I already finished them!} When I first started these socks, the yarn started pooling (ugly pooling) in plain stockinette. So I decided to use Hermione's Everyday Socks pattern to at least make the pooling more subtle, and thankfully it worked! They're still a bit unusual looking, though...
