Reading: I've finished the Kadaverdoktoren (Madeleine Karno #1) the other day. It was good, but not as good as I had hoped it would be. But I think I will read the next book as I think it has potential to be a good series
I'm halfway through The Sweetnes at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce #1) and I love it! It's funny, exciting and strange at the same time! And The House at Riverton is waiting for me once I finish this :) Looking forward to continue reading it :)
Knitting: The onesie is done - just need to buy buttons. So hopefully there will be a fo post soon. I have casted on a hat in the same pattern. My Asthon shawl is nearly done. I have two lace borders left. There is a kal going on in the Knit Like A Latvian group with patterns from the book Latvieša Cimdi. I have started on a pair, but so far they seem to be too big for me... 90 st on 2 mm needles. But I will make on and see how it turns out and hopefully there will be yarn left for the second.
What are you reading and knitting this week?

ReplyDeleteFikk lyst til å lese 'Kadaverdoktoren'. Jeg har ikke fått med meg at L. Kåberbøl har skrevet en bok for voksne. Den andre boka høres også fin ut. Notere meg den.
