A pair of socks just need their ends woven in to be done, and this shawl, my Fully Charged from last year&#8217;s race, is blocking and awaiting a fashion show. If I&#8217;m very productive, I have three projects I&#8217;d like to wrap up in the next three weeks. That may be an ambitious goal, but I&#8217;m trying to focus on creative endeavors this month as part of my sabbatical before I have to turn my attention to job hunting.<\/p>\n<p>On the reading front, I am actively listening to two books, Lyssa Kay Adams&#8217; <em>The Bromance Book Club<\/em> and <em>The Boardwalk Bookshop<\/em> by Susan Mallery. I&#8217;m only a couple chapters into the latter and just getting to know the three main characters, but I&#8217;m wondering if it&#8217;s the read for me. (On the face of it, three women creating a bookshop\/cupcake bakery\/giftshop on the beach should be right up my alley, but it&#8217;s feeling a little &#8230; traditional &#8230; in its scene setting at the moment. I&#8217;ll probably give it another chapter before I decide to something that feels a little more up-to-date. I have Molly Shannon&#8217;s and Jenny Lawson&#8217;s latest memoirs and Benjamin Alire S\u00e1ere&#8217;s sequel to <em>Aristotle and Dante Conquer the World<\/em> (read by Lin-Manuel Miranda) checked out already and just waiting for me to clear space enough to download them to my phone.<\/p>\n<p>On the paper front, I&#8217;ve returned to <em>Saint Young Men<\/em>, the Japanese manga about Jesus and Buddha rooming together in Tokyo in the early-aughts (it&#8217;s going much faster now that I understand that while I read the text left to right, I read the text bubbles right to left), picked up and immediately started Mia Sosa&#8217;s <em>The Wedding Crasher<\/em> (set here in D.C.) at a Little Free Library in the park, and am savoring Malinda Lo&#8217;s highly lauded <em>The Telegraph Club<\/em> for Pride Month.<\/p>\n<p>Check out what others are reading and crafting at <a href=\"http:\/\/askatknits.com\/2022\/06\/08\/unraveled-wednesday-6-8-22\/\">As Kat Knits<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I mentioned last week that I&#8217;m trying to get a few projects off my needles by the end of this month so I can cast on something new for the Tour de France Knitalong on July 1st without feeling guilty.
