I really love her books, but I know many people who just do not. Maybe . . . you would like her very first book - (it's called "Amy and Isabelle") It's written more like a "traditional" novel, and less like the "connected stories" she fell into after that. I hope your day was a good one!Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-67003345008272724622022-09-14T18:09:58.601-04:002022-09-14T18:09:58.601-04:00I can't imagine you letting a pair of socks ju...I can't imagine you letting a pair of socks just sit there so I'm sure the second one will be cast on soon. Vacation projects are always so fun to plan. I ALWAYS over-estimate what I'll get done and then have lots of yarn to return home with. Not counting the yarn I usually buy while traveling. :-)<br />Hope the day at work went well.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-82707391229751379882022-09-14T10:22:12.957-04:002022-09-14T10:22:12.957-04:00I’m listening to The Younger Wife by Sally Hepwort...I’m listening to The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth, and so far it’s holding my attention. When (or IF) I finish the sock on my needles, I’m going to take a long break from sock knitting. Knitting socks just doesn’t appeal much anymore.

I think it was at the beginning of the pandemic and the book was just too nerve wracking at the time. That's when I picked up Nancy Drew and the Little House books. That was about as thrilling as I could handle during the lockdown. It's still in my Audible library so I really should finish it.Araigneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-25272794691495506322022-09-14T09:45:29.300-04:002022-09-14T09:45:29.300-04:00I've never had a pair of socks languish like t...I've never had a pair of socks languish like this green pair; I've never been too busy for socks before but I am too distracted with other things, I guess.

I think the only Lucy book I eye-read was Lucy By the Sea, and they do work very well for me in audio - YMMV. But even if they still aren't your cup of tea, I think you will love Bel Canto. It's a marvelous book!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923606944837827580.post-78594686121034652952022-09-14T09:18:19.688-04:002022-09-14T09:18:19.688-04:00Beautiful sock!

They were mislabeled, and they are producing like crazy. <br /><br />I wonder if I'd like Remarkably Bright Creatures. It sounds a bit fanciful for me.

Or both of us! LOL <br /><br />But Remarkably Bright Creatures... I adored that book so much. And I love that we both loved it so much! :)<br /><br />I have been making small batches of tomato jam with the handfuls of cherry tomatoes I have been picking. But this cooler weather has slowed down that production a bit (it was 52 here this morning!) but we are back in the 80's later this week so I might get a few more!

If it makes you feel any better, I just cast on for a second sock of a pair over the weekend for which I finished the first sock back at the beginning of July (it was a test knit and I only had to knit one sock, so I lost my momentum). <br /><br />Elizabeth Strout worked a lot better for me on audio. I think her Lucy books, in particular, work better when you treat them like someone telling you the story, and I appreciated them more when I listened. I just read the most recent one (which comes out next Tuesday, I believe) and really enjoyed it because I could still hear the voice of the audio in my head.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.com
