Yay! A community about two things I love!
Wow, the journal layout here looks really funky in Safari, but that shouldn't matter. I'll probably be reading from the FP anyway. Yay! I am a knitter and a reader. I've been knitting for about three years now, mostly making hats and scarves and baby blankets, and discloths and coasters and shawls and things. Mostly things I can knit and talk to somebody at the same time, because I'm in a group that meets fridays in a hotel bar, knits and dissects the world. That group is nightknitters over at LJ, if anybody cares.
Reading! I have lots and lots and lots of books. In fact, I just ordered more. But mostly, just got done reading the final Company book by Kage Baker, The Sons of Heaven, awaited for a long time. It's quite a fun SF series, which not enough people know about, it seems. So I trumpet it. The first one is called In the Garden of Iden.
Also, I read Rude Mechanicals, a stand alone novel in the same universe, which was a ton of fun. I finished off recently All Together Dead, the latest in the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books, and I'm re-reading Variable Star, the posthumous collaboration between R.A.Heinlein and Spider Robinson.
In so far as books about knitting goes, my latest one is Mason Dixon knitting, which seized many of my knitting group at the same time, so we're all extolling the virtues of cotton, and working on log cabin projects.
