Arrrrrrgggggggh!!!

I've frogged Glee twice now. Once when I removed the sleeves and discovered that they would better accommodate The Rock's biceps, and a second time when I noticed a stupid, stupid mistake--a purl stitch on the knit side. It was only one stitch, and its location on the back near the collar would probably go unnoticed by all normal human beings, but the point is that I would know it was there. And that one little stitch would slowly drive me crazy. Or at least, crazier.

In other news, LeaEllen's Green Gable is about 2/3 finished. Hurrah! It will soon be wending its way northward to the wilds of Seattle. Pictures to come...

I have also joined Knit the Classics, which marries two of my favorite things: reading and knitting. The idea is to read a book, and then create a textile-based project corresponding with it. We are currently reading Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin, which has been sitting on my bookshelf for about three years, so I'm delighted to at last crack it open! I'm also open to suggestions as to just what I should knit. It's one of those books, along with other notables like The Moor's Last Sigh and Mrs. Dalloway, for example, that I kick myself for not having read yet.

Meanwhile, I bury my nose in tripe an in-flight read like My Sister's Keeper, which I've nearly finished, thank goodness. The issues of medical ethics and societal perceptions I was hoping to see discussed were overshadowed by catty family drama and highly unlikely subplots and twists. I can see why this author is popular, however, beyond the "ripped from the headlines" subject matter. She doesn't require a great deal of her readers, and you could easily devour this book in a day or so.

Anyway, on to bigger and better things. There is just not enough time in the day for all of the books I yearn to read.
