~ Taking time again to join in with Ginny's Yarn Along ~
Although the past week has been busy, I've been anxiously awaiting this Yarn Along! I've made pretty swift progress on Shalom, (thanks to a small bout of flu last week - everyone is recovered now, though) and started on the sleeves yesterday. I almost always prefer to follow a carefully written pattern, and am feeling a bit at loose ends trying to find my way with adding on sleeves, but so far, all is well.
The exciting thing I wanted to share, though, is the book I'm currently reading. At the library where I work, we do a quarterly inventory of all the paperbacks, magazines, etc. This allows us to look for any missing items, and also do some weeding of older books that people aren't taking out anymore. The other day I was going through the Science Fiction section, when the book above caught my eye. Did you know Cat Bordhi had written a fantasy book? I didn't, and so instantly added it to my shelf to take home. Even better? I'm enjoying it! I suppose any woman who is so skilled at teaching and writing other types of books is well equipped to put out a novel as well, so I'm not sure why I was so surprised. But I definitely am enjoying myself!
Sorry it took the flu to make progress on your sweater but it looks great!

Your sweater is looking great! And how interesting that Cat Bordhi wrote a science fiction novel. We knitters are a talented bunch!

Shalom is looking great!
I had no idea Cat Bordhi wrote a novel.
PS: Glad you are over the flu.

I'm stopping by from Yarn Along and enjoyed visiting your site. Your projects from 2010 are beautiful--I especially liked Gabriel's wings.
I'm not familiar with Cat Bordhi but will look her up.

I didn't realize she'd written a book! Too cool. Off to see if my library has it.
