Reading: Breadcrumbs, by Anne Ursu. This is a middle grade book that's apparently inspired by the fairy tale "The Snow Queen." With the snowy atmosphere and cover, I figured I should try to read it before spring gets here. :) I'm liking it so far...it's nothing spectacular but it's getting more intriguing.
Knitting: Though I'm still working on my sweater, I decided to go ahead and cast on for my new shawl. I'm using the Boneyard Shawl pattern and knitting with this domestic wool that I spun. I rarely knit with bulky yarn so it keeps surprising me how quickly this shawl grows. The black section is finished, and I've made a good start on the gray...I think the shawl might turn out bigger than I expected. Also, I didn't think through the needle situation and it's already nearly too bulky for the 32" cord in my interchangeable set, so I've had to order a longer cord.
