book and knitting update

First the book update.  I finished the Steve Jobs  biography by Walter Issacson.  It was interesting but all the technical parts I just skipped.  I also started "The Night Circus"by Erin Morgenstern. The librarian was just raving about this book. I also heard an interview with the author on NPR,I think on the Diane Rehm show.  I usually don't like science fiction type books and I don't like the circus. I still don't.  I read about 150 pages of this book and I just could not get into it.  I guess I will go to the "The Marriage Plot" by Jeffrey Eugenides.All these books are available on Amazon.com. On a side note -Annie Leibovitz was profiled as a Visionary"on the OWN network.  It was really interesting.  She has a book that came out today called "Pilgrim" talking about her photography.

Knitting.  First the good news.I washed and blocked "the featherweight cardigan". The designer is Hannah Fettig whose website is Knitbot.  I love this sweater.  It was knit  Malabrigo Lace yarn.It is nice and soft and perfect for this climate.The pattern was knit from the top down,well written and with no seaming right up my alley.I am goingg to start "trail jacket" another HannahFettig pattern in Osprey yarn by Quince & Co.. A Maine designer and Maine yarn. Love it  The bad news is I ripped out the September Circle Cowl that I talked about in another post.  I had finished it but I just didn't like it but I loved the yarn and it would
have gone to waste on that cowl.

Here is a picture of my dog and cat.  As many of you know the dog Molly is 18 years old blind ,deaf,and with a heart murmur. But she keeps going.  I have more knitting updates but will save for another time.
