Reading: The Dirty Life, by Kristin Kimball. It's a memoir written by a woman who fell in love with a farmer she was interviewing for an article. She ended up moving from the city, marrying him, and starting a farm with him. I'm really enjoying it so far- it's interesting and very readable. I'd forgotten how much I love a good memoir. (The only other one I've read this year was Fred Astaire's, and as much as I respect Mr. Astaire, it was incredibly dull.)
Knitting: Another pair of socks! I have been working on my two bigger projects again (sweater and shawl), but for easy, mindless knitting there's nothing better than a sock. Though red and turquoise are a bit clashy with each other, I do like those colors together and honestly, this sock is knitting up better than I thought. It's still not the prettiest sock, but there isn't any thick, tacky pooling like I expected.
