Interesting Times

What interesting times we are living in. I have been reading every scrap of news about everything going on in our country and the world and I have to say I have no idea what will happen next! We have a very interesting viewpoint in our family since I grew up in a suburb of Detroit where jobs were lost by the thousands, became a strong liberal, moved to a very conservative area in PA and will be moving to the NYC area in a couple of years. I love reading The Economist and usually agree with their viewpoints but even they didn't think that the bailout would fail. Being from the Midwest, I always felt that my future was dependent on me not on someone rescuing me so it is hard for me to sympathize with Wall street. TOOMA is an economist and even he is saying the world will go on. So it should be interesting to see what happens next. I am knitting away when I have a chance. Here is another finished sweater;
This is Cressida from RYC Classic Woman. I knit it in a medium in soft luxe. Easy knit but lots of finishing which I hate. I got two new books in the mail yesterday, Rowan's Organic Wool Collection and Kim Hargreaves' Thrown Together. I haven't decided which sweater to make first. I also have another sweater done, sewn together and it just needs a few tweaks. I'm making up for lost time.
