The knits: This quite belated xmas gift scarf is finished, and riding around as shown in the passenger seat of my car until it is gifted! I know that's a bit crazy. It's pretty so it'll be good company for a couple of days. The main yarn is Big Birdie from The Lamb & Kid, if you have never knit with this yarn, you might want to treat yourself!
(Admittedly not summer knitting materials except far north or in strong AC...it's a warm and fuzzy alpaca silk blend . The colors though!!)
I'm on to my next FINISH IT IN '26 (in which I revisit WIPs and either finish or repurpose materials) project, a Piilo sweater started last September.
The reads: I finished The Women by Kristin Hannah. Her writing swirls you into a story in a cinematic way, she nailed the time period so perfectly. I suspect there are people who are going to learn history through her novels and that's a good thing! I'd recommend it especially as a vacation read.
I started Katabasis by RF Kuang, my bookgroup's choice for the month. It is not a genre I enjoy so let me know if you've read it and send a (hopefully) encouraging word!
On my mind: I'm going to be filmed for KnitStars *in about 6 weeks (early July). I need to prepare on all fronts. From fixing up my shaggy front yard (first impressions!) to breaking down the teaching modules for photographing your knits which will be filmed while I am actually photographing knits! I have always wanted to teach this way. The end product is going to amazing but between now and July...yikes!
* I am new to KnitStars as a customer as well as a subject--and I am VERY impressed. One thing I never realized is you can purchase individual classes, after the season has ended for very reasonable prices ($ 67.). If you scroll down on this link you'll see so many good ones. Personally I recommend Dawn Barker Assigned Pooling. It's a true pleasure.
