Hello All,
Our gorgeous weather continues in Eastern PA. Yesterday was yet another stellar day. And though the temps are gradually climbing, it is still quite pleasant with cool nights (perfect for sleeping with windows wide open).
It's Wednesday! The first of June 2026 and time to link up with Kat and her Merry Band of Unravelers to chat a bit about what we are making and reading. Do be sure to check out all the links that Kat has - you will find so much inspiration (and even a bit of enabling I'll bet).
While Damon was visiting, my making and reading both slowed down. I was busy cooking (even more than normal) and chatting (much more than normal). But this week I can show progress on my second polo sock:
I am now roughly halfway down the foot! A reminder that this yarn is from Fibernymph Dyeworks and the color way is "Mountain House Winter." But (to me) the way the stripes are knitting up reminds me of a polo shirt. Thus I've named them Polo Socks. Anywho, I predict that this one will be finished soon and then I will cast on for something (or somethings...) new!
Only one book to report on, but it's a great one! I finished The Artist and the Feast by Lucy Steeds and I absolutely loved it. I found it to be sexy and delicious. And, really, what's wrong with art, food and Provence in the 1920's?
Fletch and I are now reading (well, I'm reading it out loud after dinner) "In a Pig's Eye" by Karl Schwenke. Small town Vermont life. It's ok - a few laughs, but nothing great.
Today will find me back with Iris. I need to get over a little earlier than usual due to a meeting that Colin has. Whatever is on your agenda, I hope it's fun!
That second sock will be done in no time! I just put The Artist and the Feast on hold -- sounds delightful! Hope you have a lovely day with Iris.
ReplyDeleteThe latest sock is looking good!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you... that yarn does remind me of polo shirts... polo socks it is! Lisa does such a great job coming up with colors, doesn't she? I am off to find Lucy Steed's book! Thank you for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI think The Artist & the Feast sounds like a book that would be perfect for my summer reading pile. Thanks for the recommendation, Vera. And love your socks! I bet you finish in no time. . .
ReplyDeleteYou will be done with your second sock very soon, and it also reminds me of polo shirts. None of my libraries has The Artist and the Feast but this sounds like one that might be worth buying.
