idle hands?






blankets i've crocheted so far this summer. no, they're not all for me. i know 3 pregnant people right now and one that has a 5 month old. plus, i have about 6 bins of yarn from my deceased grandmother that are sitting in the spare room waiting to be made into something loved. the first 2 granny square ones are lopsided because the yarns i used were different weights...oops. here's the pattern: http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/60505A.html?noImages= the last one is the most "professional" one that i've made. it's so lacy and actually turns out square. can't remember where i got this pattern. it's my current favorite. i've made 2 already and am on #3! here's the pattern: http://members.aol.com/fourleafcl1064/page24.html

books i've read so far this summer:
a long way down - nick hornby (ok. i forget that i don' really like his writing)
little earthquakes - jennifer weiner (super awesome. easy to read and sucks you in)
confessions of a slacker mom - muffy mead (read in about 1 hour...good advice)
her mother's daughter - linda carroll (courtney love's mom's memoir...couldn't put it down)
bed rest - sarah bilston (can relate to the pregnancy woes of this character)
gods in alabama - joshilyn jackson (good mystery story)

man, i love the library! oh yeah...and time to read! :)
