BOoks and knittng

By -

I have a pattern going. Called the soft and sophisticated poncho.   Oh that bad knit word...poncho. I am going to rename the pattern after I finish it. I love it so far.

Al has a pattern going :the Oho de Dios shawl.  It is a modular knit in Gina which looks like noro.  I can't wait to see it going along

I have too many books going at once but hey it's summer
I'm reading a book from Channon set in the outer banks.   Kathryn o Sullivan's Foal Play
I'm reading deep dark down and it is so good
I'm reading crones don't whine which is awesome
I'm starting happily Ali after by ali went worth
And I need to read hyperbole and a half

I'm looking forward to seeing Al's shawl. I am a one book at a time reader but a multi-project knitter. We have reached mister-on-the-patio temperatures in Texas, my favorite time and place to knit and read in the evenings. I currently have three projects going and since g-granddaughter #3 (Carrie's 2nd granddaughter) was born on Thursday I am itching to knit another baby sweater and blanket.

I am not reading but just downloaded the Diary of a Provincial Lady. I am listening to The Dressmaker and enjoying it very much.
Hugs to you Kathy,

Show us your progress on the "poncho". I've just gathered yarn together to knit a shawl in 3 pastel colors. Where I go for knitting meetups the air conditioning is soooo cold that I usually take a light jacket. However, I thought why don't I knit myself a shawl. I've just finished reading two James Patterson books in his PRIVATE series.

How on earth do you keep up with all those books? I'm reading (listening to) one and have to keep backtracking.

Ponchos were big when I was a hippie. I even spun the alpaca and knitted my own.. and now I have no idea where it is. Have fun with your books. I'm reading "Stoneheart" by Baer Charlton - an author that I know personally. It's quite the guy book, but I'm doing okay reading it. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Books and knitting - a perfect combo for summer. It's my favorite pair of activities in the summer months (when I can read outside!).

nothing wrong with too many books! I have a few going at once, and it depends on my mood on what I read. I also like having lots on the needles to fill the need.

As in knitting, I usually have too many things going. But life is short, right? You might as well read and knit as much as you want!

It's a good life, Kathy. Knitting with your daughter and a pile of your eclectic reading. You have such a wide reading interest. I love that! Enjoy!

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...
