Yarn Along No. 2

So, last week I went on and on about how the pattern for the baby sweater I was working on was so simple, so easy, it was one of the first things I ever knit.  Well, since then, I have goofed up the yoking around the neck four times and had to start over.  Four times.  I am not much farther along than I was last week, even though I have been knitting almost constantly.  And it's completely my fault!  I keep trying to knit on a crowded train or at night while totally exhausted, instead of just setting aside some quiet time to get back in my sweater-knitting groove.  I have also forgotten everything I ever knew about unknitting and fixing mistakes, which I need to re-learn stat.  So frustrating.  But on a happier note:

 

I blocked the second Norwegian Star hat!  Unfortunately, it is way too big - I wish I had done some ribbing along the edges or something, so it wouldn't be so loose and wavy, but I suppose they can get a couple of years of wear out of these.

I'm still reading Wolf Hall (love!), and I'm re-reading Scott Hahn's Signs of Life: 40 Catholic Customs and Their Biblical Roots.  I read it before, but a refresher never hurts!  Its 40 short chapters line up nicely with Lent, so I'm aiming for a chapter a day.  Hahn's writing style isn't my favorite (is that heresy?  Maybe.) but his books are always full of wonderful, accessible information.  Good stuff.
