Not much Knitting

Since leaving Virginia, there has not been much knitting here. I finished the doll for my mom. She loved it and presented it to my cousin's daughter at one of the reunions. It was met with hugs and carried throughout the day. Of course, I now have a list of other dolls to make. Too many raves and wishes for one.

After the doll, I set to finish the mystery shawl. It still needed the final clue. It has been a bigger challenge than I thought. So much visiting and exploring has left little knitting time. One side is finished and the other has quite a few rows to go. I am hoping to finish it this week and move onto my other WIPs. I would love to finish my red sweater while we are in the cooler part of the country. Maybe even the languishing pair of spring socks.

In addition to knitting, my book pile just continues to grow. I have listened to quite a few audiobooks with the kiddos. Driving is perfect for this. My own reading has come in spurts. I am behind on my online and offline reading. I just started a Prayer for Owen Meany, but I am only a few pages into it. We are planning a trip north to my inlaws' cottage. I am hoping the time there will be spent knitting and reading just a bit more.
