This photograph introduces both subjects for today: knitting and reading.
First the knitting.
I am progressing on the KD Designs Paperdolls pullover. At this point, I have attached the cap sleeves and done all the reductions needed to set up for the chart.
Last night, it seemed all was well, so I carried on with the first row of the yoke chart. Upon reaching the end of the row (over 300 stitches done), I discovered my stitch count was off! In despair, I dropped the work and went to bed.
Morning always helps my brain function better. After assuming I would have to tink back three rows, I figured out that I could make my corrections with only one row unknitted. That was accomplished before I finished my morning coffee.
Now I’m wondering if I will have enough pink yarn for the rest of the yoke and the neckline ribbing. Not wanting to take any chances, I will dive into my stash to find a fourth color that will work with the ‘dolls chart. More to come.
The book I just finished last night is newly published, co-written by David Attenborough and Colin Butfield. Ocean, Earth’s Last Wilderness is just as fascinating as Attenborough’s nature documentaries. What sets the book apart from his documentaries is the ability to include lots more descriptions of both the exploration of the ocean and the research about its changes. Spoiler alert: the ocean’s ability to recover from man’s destruction is far more vigorous than one expects. While the effects of climate change on this recovery are unknown, there is, as Attenborough frequently says, much room for hope. And if David Attenborough feels hopeful, there is no reason for anyone else to feel otherwise.
Readers will also enjoy two sections of gorgeous color photographs and numerous black and white drawings throughout. I easily finished this fascinating read in a week.
