Last week, still chilled from the arctic vortex, I made some leg warmers. They're simple and purple, and perfect as an added layer of warmth for me. I worked on Silas' sweater a bit. I also started my super fun mystery knit along. ( I think it's safe to post my close up picture of my very slow progress since everyone else doing it is probably already done with clue #1!!) I'ts a shawl pattern and I chose this beautiful light purple-y color called beebalm. Hopefully I'll be able to wear it to church this spring. I also picked up a book last week that I've had on my shelf for nearly 20 years and never actually read, Till We Have Faces by CS Lewis. It's a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. I don't normally enjoy that kind of thing, but I was surprised to find myself really captivated by the story and I read it in about 4 days- which is pretty good considering that I haven't read a whole book in awhile. I used to finish books no matter how boring and painful, but I've gotten to the point that if I start something and don't like it, I don't waste my time with it.

I love Till We Have Faces! It's funny: the first time I read it, I was a teenager, and I hated it. Not because it was bad, but because I didn't get it and I *knew* I didn't get it. Reading it just felt like hitting my head against a brick wall.
