Day 62, Book 30; plus knitting

To Sail A Darkling Sea by John Ringo.

I have gotten past the point where the shawl repeatedly kicked me in the fanny to the point of ripping out the - you guessed it - 13th repeat at least three times.

Shawl will be taking a back seat to a cardigan for the March madness.  I have some Bergere de France worsted in black or an inky navy blue and I'm making a cardigan that's roughly based on a free Lion Brand pattern that I'm altering a bit - I only want one button and I'll be using a loop, not a buttonhole for it and I'm making the ribbing at the bottom about three inches deep instead of the skimpy inch the pattern called for.  That said, I got the left and right fronts cast on together on one circular and the ribbing and the first three rows of stockingette done.
