I cannot believe it’s already Wednesday and that yesterday was the first day of spring! Our weather is still quite lovely here in the Phoenix area and I am hopeful it will continue through May, fingers crossed.

So today I am happy to share with you all that I have 1” to go on my Mimungo pullover and then I will be starting the bottom band, and then of course finishing the sleeves. I am finally nearing the completion of this sweater people!! Right now this is the only WIP that I am focusing on, so I will not bore you all with the other two that I have shared often but really have not worked on too much because honestly, I want this sweater off my needles.
Once this sweater is finished (may happen before that) I will be casting on Goldwyn Folly by Thea Colman. This is a cropped vest that I plan to pair with a few summer dresses I recently bought to wear around the house. During the summer the air conditioner blows down me and I get cold, needless to say sweaters are often worn to keep me warm and I decided it was time to make something different to wear during the summer. I think this vest will be just the ticket and will be a fun layering piece to wear year around too.
So let’s talk about books ….
📚 Outlander by Diana Gabaldon – I have made it through the first chapter only, which is not typical for my reading habits but I think it’s largely due to the fact that it’s a book I am re-reading.
📚A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn – I started this book last night and I already love it. I read the Lady Grey series by this author years ago and really enjoyed them and think I will really enjoy reading the Veronica Speedwell series too.
“I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.”
― Deanna Raybourn, A Curious Beginning
🎧 A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny – this audiobook has been keeping me copy during the day as I work. I really have enjoyed listening to it and do not have too much left to go before I am finished. I really enjoy the voice of the narrator for this audiobook and hope he is the same in all of them.
What are you working and reading or listening too?
