Spinning:
I began spinning my Malabrigo Nube fiber in the Piedras colorway. It is 100% merino. I'm spinning it on my Schacht Hi-Lo spindle as usual.
Books:
1. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (I also mentioned Vile Bodies, which satirizes the "Bright Young Things" of 1920s London)

Other Miscellaneous Mentions:
1. If any newer viewers are interested in the saga of the green & cream socks, you can view my project page here (I used cream for the heels and toes only, not the cuffs). I went through a false start with a pattern, but they appeared as a WIP in their vanilla form in Episode Seven (which is named after them, in fact!).

2. While I was knitting the Fair Isle Flower Socks, I was watching Peaky Blinders. It's available on Netflix in the US. It is an excellent show, though with swearing, violence, and other adult content it is not child-friendly. It takes place in Birmingham in the 1920s and follows the escapades of the Shelby family, who are in charge of the Peaky Blinders gang. The Peaky Blinders (so-called for the razor blades sewn into the peaks of their flat caps) were a real gang, but the show is only loosely based on them. Cillian Murphy is excellent as Tommy Shelby, though Helen McCrory as Aunt Polly really steals the show for me. It's kind of an anti-Downton Abbey, if you will.
2. We're having another KAL! It's with the lovely Robyn and Merry of the Cherry Purls podcast. The Summer Colors KAL will run from June 1 through July 31, and the idea is to knit something using at least two different colorways of yarn (you can use more!). WIPs that are less than 50% done may be entered. There will be a chatter thread in the Ravelry group starting today, so come on over and let us know what you will be knitting. There's also an Instagram hashtag, which I keep forgetting to mention -- #summercolorskal.
