I love books.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Aren’t theses great yarns?                                       

I love books, but I found that it is really hard to read and knit at the same time.  To get around this little problem, I listen to books on tape and CD.  I listen to 3 to 4 books a week.  I really enjoy mysteries, but I will listen to almost anything.  My favorite authors are Faye Kelleraman, Jonathon Kellerman, Earlene Fowler, Lee Harris, Clive Cussler, and Alice Hoffman.  Somtimes it is hard to remember authors, because I listen to so many different people.  My all time favorite book is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.  I also really enjoyed The Drifters by James Michener.

I was just talking to a friend last week about the people who read books.  Sometimes I listen to books for the reader.  I really enjoy Scott Brick and Kate Reading.  We were on the subject because my friend is and acting teacher, and he has just published a book.  He spent this week in a recording studio reading his book.  His name is Darryl Hickman, and he and his wife Lynda are wonderful people.  I can not wait to listen to his book.  They are my childrens’ God Parents, so I need to go online and buy a bunch of the books, and have Darryl autograph them for the kids.  My mom is also quoted in the book, she took Darryl’s acting classes, and loved them.  Lynda has always been really supportive of my business.  She will send articles that she finds in the newspaper regarding knitting or online businesses.  She is so beautiful and so much fun, I am really lucky to have these people for friends.

I always thought it would be fun to be a reader.  Darryl says it is really hard to do.  I always loved reading to my children when they were younger.  I really enjoyed doing all of the different voices.  Darryl says that with all of his acting experience this is still very difficult to do.  He has even done just voices in cartoons, and he says this is totally different.

I am also a pack rat when it comes to knitting and crocheting books.  I can not get enough of them.  I have an entire book case full of these books and magazines.  I love looking at the pictures and reading the patterns.  Right now I have fallen in love with knitting and crocheting lace.  There is something so delicate and femanine about lace.  It looks so beautiful and I enjoy the intricate patterns.  I have really started to enjoy knitting lace, rather then crocheting it.  Knitting lace makes a much lighter fabric, then crocheting.   Here are some samples of different lace that I have been knitting lately.  I have also put in the pastel blue from my husband’s cousin.  Her name is Fern and her company is Roxannes Originals.  I sell her scarves in my store also.  I really like all of the scarves that she makes also. 

Well enough for now.  I will write more later.  This is really theraputic.
