yarn along.

I finished the back of my sweater a few days ago! I couldn't believe how fast I knit it! I had plans to cast on the front part of the sweater, but a friend of mine asked if I could make a few cowls for her. So I jumped on the opportunity and took a break from my sweater. For me, I think this will be a good idea. I happen to get tired of projects to easily... and this will be a great break for me. Hopefully I'll finish the sweater, even though it may be completed in the summer. But the good thing is I'll be able to wear it this fall at the college I am attending! Bonus points right?!

Right now, I am finishing reading the Goldfinch. I really liked the beginning, but disliked the middle. I am hoping the end is good, because I really want to know what happens!! It's definitely not my favorite book, even though the beginning was amazing.

    Love the color of the cowl, and congrats on finishing the back of the sweater. You can def. wear it next fall. Sounds like a great plan!

    I agree with you on the Goldfinch Melissa and need to warn you that you may not be pleased with the ending either, sorry.

    You've intrigued me...maybe I need to read Goldfinch. Your cowl looks lovely.

    Beautiful cowl, and way to go on finishing the back of the sweater! I hate it when a book starts great and then is disappointing partway through. It feels like betrayal. I obviously take my reading very seriously, ha!

    you're lucky to have friends who ask for hand-knits ..the only person willing to wear hand-knitted things here is ME - so I always knit for myself (and my bf now - because he would never say no to anything I do for him :D ) ...I like the color of the yarn you're using - so bright and intense! nice!
