Books and such

The socks are being knit with Berrocco Comfort Sock on size 3 dpns.  The Evenstar lace is being knit with Cascade Yarns Alpaca Lace on size 3 Circulars. 

I have to start back on the lace shawl.  I am already a whole clue behind.  Clue 6 comes out Friday and I am still on 4!  AAK!  I also have to get busy and order the 3000 beads that will be added on clue 7.  Talk about a challenge.  I have not knit anything this complicated before! 

What else is going on in my life?  I have been reading a lot lately.  Too bad its all junk.  They have made me laugh though.  I have two more Sookie books to read.  I just finished "Jane Bites Back" .  This book was funny too.  It is about Jane Austen.  She is really still alive and a vampire.  LOL  No, I'm not really obsessed with vampires and don't believe in them at all.   I just seem to be into this weird reading for awhile.  I think it takes me out of reality or something. I only like the funny ones though, not the seriously strange. I also went to the library yesterday.  I checked out Jane Austen's "Persuasion"  which I am going to attempt to read.  I have tried to read her books before but I have a hard time with them.  I haven't quite figured that out yet as I love to read and they are supposed to be classics.  I did listen to Sense and Sensibility on audio book and liked it pretty good.  I wanted to smack several of them though as I thought they were senseless.   I also have Julia Childs book, "My Life in France"   I enjoyed the movie Julie and Julia.  Since I took French, I have a fascination with France and would love to visit.  She is really quite interesting. 
Nothing else new this week so far.  Went to knitting guilds sit and knit last night.  We had a good time laughing.  Knitters can be so funny sometimes.  That's all I can come up with right now!  Bye!
