Yarn Along

{I didn't intend on being gone from the blog for almost two weeks! It's just that things have been busy lately and honestly, I didn't have anything to share. I was knitting something that's still a secret for now, and my list of ideas for posts was nonexistent. Anyway, hopefully I'm back on track now.}

Reading: I've been making good progress with my summer reading...so far this month I've read four books from my list! I've just started Emma, which I've been wanting to reread for quite a while. I consider it to be my second favorite Austen novel (tied with Persuasion), but it's been years since I last read it, so I'm looking forward to revisiting it. I know that a lot of readers find Emma to be an annoying character, but I think she's really endearing, if a bit misled and over-enthusiastic. :) Afterwards I'm sure I'll be watching the mini-series again, since it's one of my favorites.

Knitting: I'm not sure why I always find myself knitting sweaters during the summer. It's been in the 90s here for the past week, and this is when I decide to cast on a new cardigan. I'm knitting the Antler Cardigan, in a green, tweedy wool. Here's my progress so far...I've not even finished the ribbing for the first sleeve! It makes me smile to think that bigger projects like sweaters still have to begin in such a small way.
