Joining As Kat Knits and others to share updates on my reading and knitting efforts for the week.
The project I cast on last week is quite a bit further along.
This interesting vest in a mosaic stitch is knit on big needles with bulky/chunky yarn. You see here the front and, peeking through the front opening, a bit of the back. I am within a few inches of finishing the back. The next step will be I-cord edgings around arms and outer edges. My big decision will be which of the three colors to use for the edgings – light gray, dark gray or gold. Do any of you have a favorite?
I’ve gone through most of the balls of yarns (no yarn chicken game is expected, as I have another ball of each color still in reserve.)
On to reading. For those who are Michael Pollan fans, I can suggest his latest book: A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness. Ever since I read In Defense of Food, I have been a big fan and consume everything he puts out. This topic was a bit unexpected, until I read the preface, in which he explains how he came to write about it. I was dubious from the start. After all, scholars and scientists often can’t even agree on how to describe the state of being conscious, let alone how to study it. Most often, that effort is compared to a fish trying to describe water. There’s no way to get outside of it. It’s impossible to be objective or to apply the scientific method. Anyway, I got through the first two chapters as a sample on my virtual library. As soon as a copy is available, I’ll carry on where I left off.

That is lovely… just lovely! I reminds me a bit of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Rib Warmer pattern from a long, long time ago! I think that it feels like the dark grey should be up next… at least that what my eye is telling me. However, I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the colors!

Me also. I though about the baby surprise jacket, but not quite.

I’m going to look up the EZs Rib Warmer.

I love the color and texture! It’s gorgeous. I think I’d go with the orange-y/gold color for the i-cord binding . . . but, then, I’m a real pop-of-color kind of gal. You really can’t go wrong with whatever you choose! (I’m a Michael Pollan fan, too.)
