Yarn Along: August

*I usually put my sewing and watching lists on this post too, but it was getting so long that I split them up.  Check back tomorrow for my sewing update!

~knitting~

Working on my Pabaigh after finishing the Lightweight Pullover shortly before our trip.  (And no, I don't have pics of the finished sweater--it's too hot to put on a wooly garment!)  Pabaigh was a good traveling project, since I'm not very far on it yet and it is lightweight.  I've just divided for the sleeves, but this thing is so boxy, I think the next bit should go pretty quickly.  That collar, tho.  Twelve inches of stockinette in the round.  Bleh.

~reading~

I finished MOBY in Greece, and read all of Harrison Scott Key's second book, Congratulations, Who Are You Again?, which I enjoyed almost as much as his first book.  It is a funny but honest look at the writing process.  I also started reading the iodine book that Ginny recommended.  I'm not sure what I think about it yet.  I read the very long introduction to Mary Eberstadt's How The West Really Lost God, and I'm not sure I have it in me to finish it, but I might poke along with it.  I'm a couple of pages into Notes From Underground and it immediately hooked me, so that's a good sign!

Linking with Ginny for Yarn Along!
