Halfway There

Do you ever get on a roll? Things seem to fall into place. Projects appear to fly off the needles. You suddenly have both time and energy. Your knitting basket gets a little lighter. Your stack on the sewing table gets smaller. I am sure you know what I mean. Guess what. It is happening to me right now.

I am finishing my projects, and it feels so good. For weeks I have posted weekly updates on what I am doing with little to report. I am sure it isn't very interesting to read about knitting sweater sleeves inch by arduous inch for weeks. Luckily I laid the needles to rest on that project last week. This week I was able to finish the first pair of infant longies I am making for a set of twins. Technically I still need to weave in the ends and finish the drawstring, but those details are minor. The second pair will not be identical to this pair. I conferred with a knitting expert and we agreed that complimentary would look best. I am hoping to get both of the pants in the mail to the recipient by the end of the week. Ambitious, but I know think I can do it!

In addition to my knitting progress, I also finished a book. After a few renewals with the library, I finished Freedom. Although it took quite a long time to read, I enjoyed it. Several of my friends had read it. I agree with those who said it was a bit preachy, and with those that thought the characters were hard to like. I also agree with those that felt the book was very good. It read fast considering that it was over 500 pages, however the middle was a bit long. This week, I am returning to Coop.
