My Year Of Everything

I’ve made a big mistake here, folks. I chose to read “Sweater Quest: My Year Of Knitting Dangerously” on the iPad right at the beginning of summer, now that I’m doing most of my work outside. You can’t read an iPad on a deck chair, my friends. Plus my sunglasses are polarized*, so when I have them on, I can’t see the screen unless I hold my head at a 45-degree angle like a confused Jack Russell Terrier. Books on iPad must be read indoors or at night or in the shade, and I long to be in the sun. 

Also, I’m a little disappointed with the production of this iBook. It looks like they just scanned the print version and sliced it into e-pages, so the effect is like reading a long .pdf file. I guess that’s fine, but I can’t stop expecting the book to do something, like that guide to the elements everyone’s talking about**. Knit or something, book!

PS: So far, “knitting dangerously” means “holding the ball of yarn in the non-dominant hand.” Sorry I just ripped your mind in half. 

*which is undeniably better for some reason.

**which I am too cheap to buy.
