Not a lot of knitting going on…
I have other big deadlines coming up this week so there hasn’t been much knitting going on around here. Though my mind has been wrapping around it nearly constantly, planning new projects, new book acquisitions and stash enhancements.
On that topic, no one out there reading (I know there aren’t a lot of you, but…) can help me spend my money on another knitting book? A few of you have to have an opinion on a book of knitting stitch patterns… Or a web site with some?? Come on, what do I have to do?? :-)
Tonight is SnB though! So I’ll definitely get some knitting done tonight.
Saturday I finally go out of dodge and DH drove me up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). I tried to go to The Stitchin’ Den, but the address I had was an old one and we didn’t find them until 4:45pm. Their hours say they are open until 5pm, but they were already locked up and lights out when we pulled in. That’s probabably okay because I doubt DH would have had much patience with me. So, now that I know where it is and since I didn’t get to do all the picture taking I would have liked when I was in RMNP I think I may make a trek there by myself in the not too distant future. Perhaps the end of this week, but more likely next week. Plus, Eclectic Academy could possibly have gotten their act together and paid me if I wait until next week…
On the reading front I have now officially finished reading both Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. To think I was concerned about getting through both of those before the 17th of May! LOL! Being a former science/math geek in a prior life I really enjoyed them. I’m looking forward to the discussion of The DaVinci Code at book club on the 17th. Has anyone read his other books? How do they compare?
I think next up is Ecotopia (if I get over to B&N today and they actually have it) and possibly I’ll get started on Color: A Natural History of the Palette as well.
Oh, I think I forgot to mention last week that I finished Zen and the Art of Knitting. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, though I’m not sure exactly what it was I was expecting. Though I am glad I read it. It was an enjoyable read and with the format of small anecdotes it lent itself well to small snippets of reading time.
