The Dimetapp Sweater Is Done
It's done, finished, kaput! I love knitting with thin yarn and tiny needles, but there is something a bit masochistic about doing a whole sweater like that, even for a small person, like myself. There is a small shift in the sweater, so the yarn was not completely balanced. That is a little disappointing for a commercial yarn. But still, it's a gorgeous color, fits well and completely suits the use for which it was intended.
52 Books in 52 Weeks/Book 18: Sugar Cookie Murder, by Joanne Fluke. Despite the fact that someone gets murdered, this book, like all the other ones in this series, makes me smile. I'm not sure if it's that Fluke has the characters and the location down pat or what. Since I spent most of my childhood in Minnesota, I feel like I know each and every one of her characters personally and that I for sure have visited Lake Eden. I was a little surprised to finished this book so quickly, given it's size. Half of it are recipes for the dishes mentioned in the book. The big plus - there was one for Jello cake that replaces the one I lost three moves ago!
