It's been a while, Dear Readers. Knitting has slowed to a crawl around here, but I managed to finish something.
Pattern: Lounging Top by Joji Locatelli
Yarn: Madelinetosh Euro Sock in Mercury in Retrograde
Comments: I swatched (and blocked the swatch) and liked the fabric I was getting on US 3 needles, but the gauge was a little off. I did a little math and determined that the medium size would work nicely, except it would need a few extra stitches below the waist to have enough ease. I also dropped the neck a little.
I really like the way it turned out.
MK out.
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
This book was inspired by the true story of the Tennessee Children's Home Society. Georgia Tan was the director of the Memphis branch where she would kidnap poor children and sell them to wealthy couples all over the world. The novel tells the stories of two very different families while weaving in the scandal of the Tennessee Children's Home Society. It was very good.
