I was on Facebook yesterday and I saw this from Knit and Crochet Now! 
I thought that would a great idea. I actually have one of these in my yard sale that I have been having, looks like that I am not going to sell it now. NOW I just have to start saving toilet paper and paper towel rolls so I can wrap my yarn on them.

5th Book of the summer..

Well I decided to read "The Ballad of Ballard and Sandrine", it hasn't been that bad of a book so far. There are only 93 or 94 pages in it all together. I am on page 64 I believe so one more day and I will be done with it.

.










I have started a new project, it is a Log Cabin Blanket by http://verypink.com/2012/02/15/log-cabin-scrap-blanket/. You can find her video here at the link.

The blanket that I am knitting is made up of all different colors as well as what you see here. My border is going to be different then this one though. I have pictures of the one that I am knitting I haven't been able to upload them yet
















Update on Book 4..

I have officially started reading on my 4th book. I am on page 20, this book is a continous read. There are no actual breaks such as chapter listings. So far the book is just talking about Simon and how the living arrangments are in concentration camps. That is practically where I am at right now in the book.

Finished Book 3, Starting book 4...

Well I have finished book 3 "The Knitting Circle". I finished it on July 3rd. The new one I have started on is "The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness" by Simon Wiesenthal. There are only actually 99 pages of his actual story and then the rest of the book is about what other people's thoughts were on what he should have done differently or whether or not he done the right thing. I haven't quit started the book yet, so I don't know whether or not if I am going to read what the other people had to say. I would just like to know about his story, but who knows it might be another page turner.

Book 3..

"The Knitting Circle" is a really great book, it is written in a fast paced style and the story runs smoothly. I started reading the book on June 26th and here it July 2nd and I am on page 265 and there are only 346 pages. So it won't be long and I will be on my 4th book for the summer.
