Knitting

13 February 2013




On the needles this week is two nearly finished socks.  I have turned the heal on both and am knitting the foot part on one and the gusset on the other.  I have until Sunday to finish them, we have a long car journey to make on Friday so I am hoping I can get them knitted in time to give them to my Mum for her birthday on Monday.

Reading wise I am taking a break from Shock Doctrine to read something very different that I found in the library this week, Raising Girls by Steve Biddulph.  I read the book he wrote about raising boys just after my eldest was born, I read very few parenting books in those early days but I liked his writing style.  I am only a few pages in so far but I am liking what I read.

What are you knitting and/or reading this week?

Joining in with Ginny for this weeks sharing of knitting and reading and Tami for this weeks work in progess.

    That is beautiful yarn you are using for you socks and they will make a lovely birthday gift to your mom. You are so close to being finished that I'm sure you'll make it in time.

    Your socks are looking great. I am knitting a slouchy beret and reading a book about chemical and biological warfare for my History Seminar.
