I had to start it anew when I realized I had five rows of ribbing instead of the prescribed five rows of Seed Stitch. So, I was cavalierly knitting it in the carpool line at school and did not accurately record what row I had just finished.

I like it, and every time I go back to it, I&#8217;m happy I did. But it&#8217;s not begging me to read it, which means I&#8217;ve also picked up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielmendelsohn.com\/books\/an-odyssey\">The Odyssey by Daniel Mendelsohn<\/a> and that is calling to me. And what I mean by that is\u00a0I&#8217;m thinking about it when I&#8217;m not reading it, so it may get read before I finish The Immortalists. I justify this transgression by telling myself The Odyssey is from the library and I&#8217;ll have to return it within two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18 size-medium alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/mossylinen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1095-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"cover image of The Immortalists\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mossylinen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1095-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mossylinen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1095-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mossylinen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1095.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><br \/>\nWhat&#8217;s in the oven: On Saturday I made both cupcakes to celebrate the birthday of the twins and <a href=\"https:\/\/cooking.nytimes.com\/recipes\/1016965-brown-butter-skillet-cornbread?mcubz=1\">Brown Butter Cornbread<\/a> to compliment the takeout BBQ from RedBones.

Adding salt to the wound, I used up the last bit of our maple syrup making that cornbread and now I don&#8217;t have any syrup for the rest of the week.
