BLESSED SPEEDY

This week I finished two things! Firstly a pair of socks - the pattern I used for these was String of Lights (this is the second time using this pattern and its a really good one that fits well . I used Circus tonic crunch zebra sock yarn that has been marinating in my stash for quite a while Sarah sent me this book to read It was so sad at time! Its about two people who are really meant to be together but circumstances dont allow it to happen They talk a lot in long conversations with each other And four stars from me

SO the only thing Finished in the first week of october was a physical book Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult I think this book will stay with me for a while Its the story of Luke Warren, a man who loves wolves and chose to live with them for 2 years He is involved in an accident and is in a coma and his two children must decide whether to turn off his life support or not I enjoyed the facts about wolves intersperced in the story Its 5 stars for me mainly because of the staying with me factor

One really big finish and a project Ive really enjoyed working on is this hexi quilt - made from a layer cake and lots and lots of scraps and leftovers! And all hand pieced - I love love love it Also this cute little embroidery And these quite plain but lovely wool to knit with - DK weight socks Finished as a physical book - I received this book from book box and it was a nice easy read Its the story of Jo who is a palaeontologist searching for dinosaur bones in outback australia She broke the heart of a helicopter pilot years ago on a dig and due to circumstances their paths cross again Its nice to read a book set in australia and a nice cosy read and 3 and a half stars Another physical book finished On Mystic Lake by Kristin Hannah One of this authors earlier books its the story of Annie, whose husband leaves her for a younger woman She chooses to go home to her father and hometown and meets up again with her first love Its a sad and at times confronting story, but worth a ...

Just a reading finish this week and its ones Ive read before as a physical book but I wanted to revisit so decided to listen to it on audio via audible This book had me engaged from page one! Kristin Hannah can definitely write! This book is set in world war 2 in france and tells of underground operations during that time There is also some family issues, a bit of romance and telling how strong people can be in the worst of circumstances Although part of the story was quite sad I really enjoyed it. And 5 stars of course

Week two of September and yet another pair of socks finished - Im on a roll The pattern for these socks is Morning Coffee Socks by Crazy Sock Lady (yes Im working through all the sock patterns I have printed off) The yarn I used was some I bought from Morris and Sons in Melbourne and its Urth Uneeth Sock in the colorway Zebra - I love how they have turned out and it came with the yarn wound into two seperate matching balls which was awesome I also finished two mini projects that were sent to me from a ravelry friend - Taylor - in the US A Mosaic and a teeny tiny stitchery And I finished the following book on audibook via audible Book 10 in the series - still chasing Clive Ronan and waiting on the Time Police to show up, which they do but never on time. And of course 5 stars
