It’s been too long since my last On Nnenna’s Needles post! With all the craziness of finding an apartment and moving, I wasn’t knitting too much, but I have made some progress on the blanket from this post. I really love the way that the various shades of blue look together and I can’t wait until this is a full-length blanket! This project has been put on hold for a while because I’ve been working on the knit tank that Whitney won in my blog birthday giveaway. I’m hoping to send it to her within the week!
Also, this picture that I added to Pinterest is making me crave my next tattoo!
![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?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

That tattoo is crazy! The detail is amazing. I used to be able to crochet but am a little rusty. I have this perfect scarf envisioned but have been unable to locate it in a store. I might be up to me! :)

Ooo, what does your perfect scarf look like? Also, have you looked on Etsy- you might be able to find what you’re looking for there!
I adore that tattoo, and your blue knitting is excellent! Thanks for sharing. xoxo, Veena <3

I wish I had the patience to knit a blanket, but I can barely get a scarf done (and put it down for months at a time). Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
i LOVE the blues in that blanket! i recently cast on for a blanket too… must be that chilly weather! makes me want to snuggle up in some wooly things :]
It’s always great to snuggle with a home-made blanket! Also, that tattoo is crazy. Definitely perfect for the fervent knitters!
Wow, that blanket is going to be beautiful when its done, great color choices! I am hoping to restart a sweater this weekend that I shelved earlier this summer. Great tattoo, I have never seen anything quite like it!
I am always impressed by those who can sew, crochet, and knit. I am not very handy and when people are able to make their own, I am always impressed. So glad you are getting settled into a new place! That blanket is gorgeous!
wow that tatoo is really beautiful and the blanket is coming along quite well!
