Reading: I finished Edgar Sawtelle and I both liked it and couldn't quite get the hang of it... It might be a bit slow in the beginning, but then in the last part of the book you start to feel a connection to Edgar. And then the end - what was that all about?? I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but come on, you don't end a book like that!
So after me being a bit disappointed of Edgar Sawtelle, I really enjoy reading His Majesty's Dragon :) Just have to love that dragon! I hope to finish it tonight so I can start the 2nd book tomorrow.
Knitting: If you haven't seen the finished Stripy sweater go check it out. And my Zigzag socks from last week are also done.
On the needles now are the 2nd Skull cowl. I think I'll get it done today. Just have a few rows left. The purple socks I had started on last week and maybe was going to me Eirin's are now being mine ;) Love the colour. They are a plain toe-up and I think I'll knit a ribbed cuff. And the last project is a shawl for my mom. She had a gigantic ball of Big Ball Soft by Schoeller+Stahl. The pattern is Larch. If I had searched a bit on Ravelry, I might have knitted this shawl instead, but the yarn is so "hairy" that ripping is hard. But the shawl will be very soft.

De bøkene er veldig bra! Har lest alle sammen :D Hvis du liker fantasy så burde du sjekke ut Raymond E. Feist sine bøker, med mindre du allerede kjenner til dem ;)
ReplyDeleteOg så masse fint du lager! Fine ting og fine bilder her inne og :)
You are making another skull cowl? I love that pattern, I don't blame you for wanting to knit another.
ReplyDeleteI just could not get into Edgar book at all. i gave up after a few chapters and I rarely give up on books. I haven't knit a skull hat yet. I think I need to fix that!!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've ever seen a scull cowl. My son would love it! think i've just found my next project.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple socks, is it special sock yarn?
Your knitting projects are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you are working with! The purple is beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful knitting, the shawl is going to be so cosy!
ReplyDeleteLove that skull cowl. Yours is looking great - the yarn has such a great halo.
ReplyDeleteI love the skull cowl - what a great idea! And your stripy sweater turned out wonderfully, too.
ReplyDeleteI'd be keeping those purple socks for myself for sure - they're awesome - unless you want to be really, really nice to Eirin :)
ReplyDeletePurple is my favorite color. I love purple yarn.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so soft to the touch and warm. I like that mottled, variegated purple sock.
ReplyDeleteProper loving the skull cowl!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in the sock ... I am just all about socks right now, and you always have some going, don't you? :)
