Craft On: Almost a Stocking
I have another finished GAL project! The stocking still needs the loop to be sewn in, so it's not finished finished, but it should be completed today. Because I finished this, I started another project, but I was so excited about a sock design, that I cast on for that, too.
So, now I have a pair of socks for me and a beaded scarf on needles. Both projects are further along than this picture that I took at my sewing day yesterday. Also! I am nearly finished with Amira's coat (not the pink, frothy thing in the picture) that I have been working on for longer than I want to admit. It needs steaming/ironing and the buttons and buttonholes put on it. I'm hoping to get that all done by Christmas.
At the moment, I am reading two books and I'm not quite sure what I think of them or if I will finish them. They are interesting, and I appreciate both authors' perspectives, but I don't know if I can get into either of them. One is a work of fiction, The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris, and the other non-fiction, Seriously Dangerous Religion. Both are topics that interest me, but I'm not as drawn into them as I would like.
Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.
