I gave very little love to my first sweater this week, so it is still on the needles. I only have about 60 rounds left to finish the body and probably only knit one of those rounds last week!
Reading
Last week, I finished:
It’s Not Her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am currently reading We’re All Guilty Here.
You can order my reads through Bookshop.org to add them to your bookshelf or TBR pile. Every purchase gives back to local bookstores and contributes to my Wool Work for Yarn Fund. Win-win!
That’s all for this week. I’ll be back next week with my knitting and reading update.
