The Dark is Rising

A good book about the Quest for the Grail. I read the whole series years ago but need to read it again before the movie comes out.

Now I’m Happy!

I’ve got my new Pals for the Harry Potter Swap and I’m so excited. Tomorrow is pay day and I’m going shopping. I love the Ravenclaw colors so this will be a blast!! As for my Questionnaire:
1. I’m a Gryffindor 2. I use double pointed bamboo needles but I’d like to learn to knit socks on 2 circulars. 3. Addie Turbos are too expensive 4. I’m not a Ravenclaw but I need to know what my Ravenclaw prefers – film or book colors? 5. I have no allergies, I’m easy.

Harry Potter Sock Swap

I have just joined the Harry Potter Sock Swap and I am very excited. I am in Gryffindor so I am looking for some good crimson and gold colored yarn. I like to listen to the Secrets of Harry Potter podcast as I really read the books much deeper and appreciate the writing of JKR so much more.

Good Day Sunshine

It’s a good day. I received the name of the person for whom I will buy in the Knit1Tea2 swap. I am organizing a knitting group for the coffee shop on Thursday. And I made a cute little hat from left over Noro yarn.

I just finished this fantastic book about an orphan boy in Paris and his discovery of an automaton.

I invite you to watch the video introduction to this book. I know you’ll want to read it.

Just to let you know, I have been reading the Knit1 Tea2 Blog. When do we find out who our “Swappee” is? I’m excited.

Greetings, Friends!

This blog is all about reading and it is written for my friends and students at Reynolds Middle School. If we share our thinking about books, maybe we’ll have some fun this year. I’m excited. See you next week.

Back to School

I start back to work on Monday so this is my last weekend of summer vacation. Last night, I discovered Craftlit podcast which is for readers who knit. What a great idea to listen to audiobooks while you knit.

Knit1Tea2

Just signed up for the Knit1Tea2 swap which sounds like such a great idea. I look forward to preparing my box of goodies. Today was such a beautiful summer day and I was able to figure out how to do the toe up socks. I’ll finish this beautiful pair but I don’t know if I see the advantage of this toe up method. I had to go on line to figure out the Eastern Cast on method. Very complicated.
