I've not been knitting as much as I'd like, but I did manage to finish the socks I had previously shown you. They turned beautifully. I really liked the KnitPicks hand painted sock yarn. And the name of the colorway, "Wicked Witch" was very appropriate for the season, dont' you think?
I've started another pair of socks (I'm destashing all of my horded sock yarn) with Rowan fine art hand painted sock yarn in various shades of blue. Very pretty!
Now for the "what am I reading" part of Ginny's Yarn Along, I'm still on the Skandinavian mystery kick. Daniel had read a few books by Håkan Nesser and really liked them, so I'm on the first one in the Inspector Van Veeteren series. So far it's really good!
If you are a knitter and/or a reader, head on over to
Ginny's blog for some great inspiration!

That yarn is so pretty. And I don't know that author. Will have to check my library for those books.
ReplyDeleteLove those socks. Nesser's books are great, I love them, too. Enjoy your mysteries! Hugs, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I was heavily into Scandinavian crime fiction and read several of Nesser's book, also everything by Henning Mankell I could lay my hands on. My reading has shifted from that but I do remember I found the books almost unputdownable.
