Reading: The Lottery and Other Stories, by Shirley Jackson. Last fall I read We Have Always Lived in the Castle and absolutely loved it, so I want to read more Shirley Jackson this year. I'm really enjoying these short stories so far, though they're not exactly what I expected. They're all interesting and intriguing (with an unsettling feeling), and I love her writing style, but most of them aren't as creepy or dark as I thought. (That's not necessarily a bad thing!)
Knitting: My first lace shawl, the Elder Tree shawl. It's worsted weight so it's moving along quickly, and despite my initial fear of lace charts, I'm actually enjoying it. It's very simple and I'm loving how the leaf designs look with this tweedy green yarn.
