This week I finished my first sock, but as I have 2 other pairs of socks on the go, I decided not to cast on the second one right away. I think there is probably such a thing as too many socks at once *laughs* Since I finished that, I have been working on Shalom, which is now at the waist shaping stage and shouldn't take too much longer to finish the body.
I also cast on for a vest to go over a shirt, in my lovely 100% alpaca yarn that has been waiting patiently in stash for a while. Well, with lots of socks on the go, I needed something new and exciting for me too *laughs*
I haven't been reading much, but I have bought the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy, as I have heard so much about it that I figured it was about time I knew what people were talking about ;) Haven't started it yet, so it's a little sneaky to picture, but I will be starting it this evening so I think it counts *laughs* I hate when I can only find a book with the film tie-in cover though, is that just me?!
I agree about the film picture on the books cover...although I definitely make an exception for Vampire Diaries and Twilight...but that is just me :-)
ReplyDeleteI am very excitedt to see your Shalom when you finish; after seeing the pattern I put it in my library and hope to start one soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the book covers. I think movie tie in covers look very tacky!
Have a happy yarn along!
I love 100% alpaca anything! It truly is the softest ever. Have fun knitting :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you can never have too many socks! Take it back!
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games is such a good book, you won't be able to put it down! Good luck with finishing your socks, it's always so hard to make the second one!
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about the Hunger Games :) Hope it is enjoyable :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely let us know what you think of Hunger Games, I'm starting to hear SO many opinions about it, and all of them good...
ReplyDeleteI think you are a sock knitting machine!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I agree with you, I dislike a book's cover when it advertises the movie. Argh!
Ditto on film tie-in covers!! Clear your schedule once you start to read!!
ReplyDeleteToo many socks? Are you feeling okay? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe alpaca vest sounds great. I love alpaca, but can't wear it next to my skin as it's just too fluffy. Maybe I should be thinking in terms of over-garments rather than scarves!
I've been intrigued by the Hunger Games too, so will be interested to hear what you think.
The hunger games books were awesome! I agree though, I don't like books with movie covers.
