Read a Good Book Lately? What I'm Reading Now
Diana Gabaldon: Drums of Autumn
Up next. More bodice ripping I hope.Neil Gaiman: The Graveyard Book
This is SUCH a good book. Dear son loved it too. (*****)Margaret Eleanor Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale
Book club re-read. Eerily similar in theme to the Rose Labyrinth to which I'm listening on my ipod. Hmmm. I think the universe is sending me a message. (***)Diana Gabaldon: Dragonfly in Amber
Scottish bodice ripper. Need I say more. (****)Titania Hardie: The Rose Labyrinth
It's a good listen, somewhat akin in theme and style to other conspiracy/church/feminist doctrine mysteries... you know the ones. (****)Graham Hancock: Fingerprints of the Gods
New book club book. I'm a conjectural history nerd... Turned out to be a crazy fun conspiracy book. If a bit ponderous. But I'm a good skimmer. (****)Jane Austen: Emma (Penguin Classics)
ipod again (*****)Bram Stoker: Dracula (Enriched Classics Series)
I pod. Loved it again. (*****)Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics)
on ipod again Um, Yea. Love this one too. (*****)Stephenie Meyer: Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)
listened on ipod I am a freak. I got obsessed with these books and I must admit, I guess, to listening to them all twice and to the first one 3 time. Sheesh. (****)Stephenie Meyer: New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)
I got impatient with Edward's know it all crap in this one. Horrible thing to do. (****)Stephenie Meyer: Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)
I am a secret teenager, I think. I didn't mind all the gym class, trig class, lunch line stuff at all. Just really enjoyed the love/obsession blossoming thing. And the great thing about a boyfriend in your room all night... ; ) (*****)Sebastian Barry: The Secret Scripture
Newish for this summer. Love it so far... Read this if you haven't. Beautifully written, great twist at the end. Loved it. So did my mom. (*****)Mike Walsh: Bowling Across America: 50 States in Rented Shoes
(*****)Sena Jeter Naslund: Ahab's Wife: Or, The Star-gazer: A Novel (P.S.)
(***)Anthony Horowitz: Stormbreaker (Alex Rider Adventure)
I'm reading Dear Son's series of books so I know what he's into...Louise Erdrich: The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse: A Novel

YES! I've been desparately searching my stash to see if I have enough of any one sock yarn to make a pair. Won't they be perfect for fall?

Not I. I adore looking at them, but I know I'd lose interest mid sock. If not and I managed to finish one, the second would never be cast on.
But go ahead, I can admire from here and cheer you on :)

I've been looking for a Rhinebeck project... hmm...

I volunteered to make Number Guy kilt hose - he declined. No socks for him. Ever.

I hear it loud and clear but knees socks on a 57 year ol' grrl....I think not.
Posted by: margene | August 24, 2006 at 10:25 AM
Nope. Not until my calves are considerably smaller!
Posted by: Carole | August 24, 2006 at 10:30 AM
No. I don't care how pretty they are, I swore off knee socks with my 8th grade uniform and I'll never wear them again.
Posted by: Jenn | August 24, 2006 at 11:45 AM
Uh huh!
Posted by: Rachel | August 24, 2006 at 11:52 AM
I've heard it, but I'm trying to ignore it.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 24, 2006 at 05:16 PM
They are definitely *in* right now because I have people asking me to dye yarn for them! I can't wait to see them!
Posted by: Scout | August 24, 2006 at 06:25 PM
I'm hearing it too. I have some yarn my stash that's been screaming at me to be a pair of knee socks!
Posted by: Kelly | August 25, 2006 at 05:49 AM
Perhaps for Her Ladyship. I don't think I'm a knee socks kind of girl.
Have you found any other kilt hose patterns, by the way? A friend of mine would like to knit a pair for her daughter who does Highland Dance.
Posted by: Ruth | August 25, 2006 at 08:29 AM
I'm still working on my very first sock, so I think I'll hold off on the kneehighs & the tights for now. ;-)
