Reading But Not a Lot of Knitting

I will admit that I have been distracted in pretty much every aspect of my life lately.  I'm not sure why, but this does happen to me regularly, and some things suffer more than others, though it is not necessarily always the same.  

This time around, my knitting is the main victim.  I have *been* knitting, but not in any real consistent way, or with exciting results.  Over the past couple of weeks, I have managed to finish one sock of a pair, which is a good thing.  Usually, I can't wait to cast on the mate and get moving - second socks tend to take much less time for me to knit.  But I haven't even picked up the project bag, much less cast on any more stitches.

I also did cast on and start knitting my Edie top, and made some real progress.  I do want to make it, and knitting with linen has not really been an issue for me.  But it hasn't gotten much attention in the past few days, either.

I just have to wait it out and hope it won't be too long!  I want to knit, but I don't - do you know what I mean?

My reading has been doing a bit better, though in my distracted state, I am only interested in "non-serious" books.  I started this book on Monday, and have been enjoying it so far.

I'm reading it on my Nook, during lunch hour every day, so it's taking longer than it would otherwise, but I'm sure I'll finish it by the end of the weekend it not sooner.  It's the second book of a series, and I enjoyed the first one, though I read it long enough ago that it took me a few minutes to remember the main characters and their stories.

Other than that, we've had lovely days and cool evenings so far this week, and that is a real mood booster for me.

What are you up to?  To see what others are doing (or in my case, not doing!), check out the other participants' posts for Unraveled Wednesday.

I apologize by the way, for not responding to comments.  As I'm sure you have read, Blogger seems to be having issues right now, e-mailing comments so I can respond, and I tend to forget to note who is saying what when I read them.  I tried commenting on my own posts, but have received nothing.  Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but in any case, while being so distracted, my attention to that detail will likely not improve any time soon.  Please know that I do value your comments, and will do my best to get back on track with things.
