I am in a knitting vortex. I've been working on the body of this sweater for an eternity, and it still isn't long enough. However, I did have a chance to hold it up to Amelia, and I am going to make it a little shorter than the pattern says, anyway. I should be able to start the scalloped border today. There was a ton of ease in the sweater, and it is probably intended to be a bit oversized, but if I knit even just a little longer, it will be a tunic on her, and if I use the pattern measurements, it will be a dress. She's pretty tall, too.

Malabrigo March has started, and I thought I'd have some progress to share, but we had a super tangled skein, and I am just getting started on my first project for the event/month.

We have a short trip coming up and I will have some knitting time in the car, so I am looking forward to making progress on both of those, as well as the baby socks for Madelyn, and for Dominic and Shawn's little one.

I finished up Rocky Road and have, evidently, caught up with all the other readers of this series in my area, as now the next book had to be put on hold rather than instantly borrowed. It is interesting to read a member of the LDS church write about an outsider's view of it. I have also seen the author give LDS theology to free evangelical anabaptists, which is out of place. It isn't a huge criticism, but I think even a little research/exploration could have avoided that. Anyway, this gives me a little more time with The Dress Doctor and The Joy of Yarn.

The full review of You Are Peter is still forthcoming, but I want to put my thoughts together a little better. It was an interesting book, which gives both the Christian East and West many things to consider.
