Welcome back for another installment of On Nnenna’s Needles! This time I’m sharing a project that I’ve been working on for the past few months- this sweater! I was immediately drawn to the pattern because of the openness in the front and the overall fit. I chose this color because I thought pink would be perfect for springtime and I didn’t already have a pink cardigan (very surprising for someone who owns more than 20 cardigans)! It took me several months to finish because I didn’t have as much time to work on it as I would have liked, and instead had to write my two senior theses- believe me, not quite as much fun as knitting! However, I finally had the chance to finish it last month and I love it! I think it will be perfect for those nights that are chilly, when I’ll need something to wrap myself in. Now all I need to do is figure out my next project! ;)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Aww, thanks Ashley! That's a huge compliment- I like to think of knitting as bad-ass! :D And I totally agree, this sweater could look totally old lady if worn differently, but I'm trying to keep it young and fresh! =) Thanks!

You are like, the most bad ass knitter ever. This is so cool! And I like how you wore it, too. I feel like it has the possibility to look frumpy if not styled correctly, but you definitely did it correctly! Nice work!
P.S. LOVE your nail color! It's so shiny, too!
