Reading: Go Set a Watchman, of course! At the beginning of the week, I heard (along with everyone else, I'm sure) some discouraging things about the book. I was a little worried, but so far I'm about a third of the way in and really enjoying it. (After I finish it, I might do a post about my thoughts on this one and To Kill a Mockingbird.)
Knitting: I was knitting a hat...actually, since taking this picture I finished the hat. Then I realized that it had turned out too large, even for my big head. I should have seen this coming, because I was trying on the hat as I went along and it was looking exceptionally baggy (not slightly slouchy, which is what I was going for). So, sadly, I'm going to have to start over...probably with a different pattern. It's discouraging, but this yarn was a bit of a splurge and I want to love the end result. (It's pretty special yarn because the alpacas live in Virginia, and so do I.)

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Go Set a Watchman. I don't now if I should read it or not from what I've heard so far...
ReplyDeleteI've hit the spot now that everyone was talking about, so we'll see what I think by the end of the book! I'll definitely do a post about it when I finish, but right now (at over halfway through), I do feel like it's worth reading.
DeleteOh, oh, oh - I haven't got a copy yet! The one I have seen had an orange cover - your blue one is so much nicer.
ReplyDeleteI like this cover, too. I think you're talking about the UK cover (and it might be the Australian one, too?). Most of the time, UK covers are a lot prettier than American ones, but I much prefer the American one this time. :)
DeleteHope you continue to enjoy 'Watchman.' I've seen quite a lot of controversy surrounding this novel. Happy reading - and knitting, Kristin. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, there's definitely a lot of controversy about the book! I finished it so I'll be doing a review soon. :)
