Happy Weekend.... Bookworm!


Did I tell you that I am a bookworm too?

I started Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Lately I have been more interested in reading Non-Fiction than Fiction. This book is Marcus's story how he came to be the sole survivor of a Navy SEAL operation in Afghanistan in July, 2005.

One Brand of Yarn

As I look through my finished projects and my current projects I realize that I have been 98% exclusive with the brand of yarns I use. I think it may be time to break out into the "wild blue yonder" and experience the other "yarn flavors" out there.

Current Project # 3 - Champagne by Night Speed Stix Afghan



Between the size 50 knitting needles and the three strands of fiber working this project can be very clumsy.

Current Project # 2 - Psychedelic Squares Afghan

This project may get a tiny revision. A friend at last night's gathering shared some information about what might be a better way to pull the blocks together. I have to check out the information she kindly sent.....
HUMMMM is there any such thing as a tiny revision in knitting?
