…yep, I started 11/23/63 on Saturday afternoon and to say I’m obsessed would be an understatement. What a story! All that reading doesn’t leave me much to share here in the way of “weekending”…except for a few knitting updates.
First, I finished the body of Lucinda – and blocked it. This photo is pre-blocking, but it doesn’t look much different now. It still needs two sleeves and a neckband and a bunch of ends woven in!
I also knit two blocks for Charlie’s Fly Away. (I’m not even going to let myself think about what I have to do once I finish knitting all sixteen blocks!)
And I started the Rivington Cowl, my (first?) project for Kirsten Kapur’s Summer Shawl KAL. I bought this yarn way back at Stitches South 2010, intending to knit Sara something for Georgia Tech game days. Well, I actually bought the gold skein that day and had Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark custom-dye the white skein. It’s a great white and gold pairing; but Sara subsequently told me she didn’t want anything like that so it’s been sitting in my stash since. I think it’s going to be perfect for a game day cowl for ME! and I should have enough of the gold leftover to knit another small cowl.
That’s about it… and that might be all you get until I finish those 480 pages!
Hope your week is off to a fine start… Happy Monday!

Loved 11/22/63 also! I think we have similar taste in books (and knitting!) Enjoy the rest of the book and all of those beautiful projects–Deb
Your sure knitting more than you did and reading like a fiend. You'll be finished with 480 pages in no time!
I LOVED 11/22/63. :-)Great progress on the knitting, too, Mary.
I love when a book sucks you right in like that. I feel that way about The Art of Fielding – 512 pages in just 4 days because it's so very good!
Glad to hear that Stephen King is treating you so well! James Michener is the author of my >800 pg book and he's currently telling me in excruciating detail about dinosaurs that roamed Colorado and how the Rocky Mts. were formed. Looking forward to seeing some blue-striped Fly Away blocks!
Go Mary! I'm enjoying Donna Tartt's The Little Friend…555 pages! 😉
Knitting progress-Whoo-hoo. I may have to put this Stephen King on my list-wasn't overly impressed with Dr. Sleep.
Mary — on that Fly Away, can you not sew a little as you go?
Love the color palette: gold + white! I'm not a S King fan…but the story sounds interesting. And all those pages! Good for you…btw: done yet?Cheers~
Love those cowl colors!
