Books for National Library week!

By -


I count Planet Earth as a book. An incredible book. A wonderous book. Do you .....Planet earth?????

Luring the Largemouth Bass is a bit of a joke. We bought it for Sweet Husband last year. Do you have to judge a book by the success one has after reading it? I think he thought it was a good book. Alas, no largemouth bass. Sort of how I feel about Lace books....

Finally, my NEW book 200 Knitting Blocks. More knitted throw inspiration. Dishrags too. I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it.

What are you reading??????

Please let me know what you think about the 200 book. I was thinking of getting it, but would love to hear your thoughts before I do so.

Mindless knitting is some of my favorite knitting, too.

Your afghans and dishcloths are going to be so pretty in all those designs. I am currently reading "The Prince and the Pilgrim" by Mary Stewart (I love King Arthur tales).

Great book, and great excuse to knit 200 wonderful blocks! I love knitting squares!

I read a lace knitting book once and afterward had a better chance of catching a largemouth bass than knitting lace. The whole point of lace escapes me!

The 200 stitches will help you find something at the 3 Bags sale.

Heh. Part of my freelance work is copyediting, and lately I've been doing a series of fishing manuals. Let me know if your husband would like one of them!

I'm still reading All Souls' Rising by Madison Smartt Bell, which is just an amazing book. Yesterday I bought the McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes, which likes quite funny.

Planet Earth and Deep Blue are fantastic. I love the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.

All of those books would be right at home on our bookshelf. In fact, I already have 200 Knitted Blocks--it's good.

The 200 Knitted Blocks book looks very tempting... I'll be interested to hear your thoughts about it also! I just got Vogue Knitting on the Go ~ Crocheted Scarves. It has some pretty and offbeat patterns in it - I'm looking forward to making a few.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
