What You Doing Wednesday Week 154

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope your week is going well!

Red Monster is still off school.

His school has chosen to have 2 weeks

this holiday and finish for the summer

holiday later.

Hubby took Monday and Tuesday off work

but it didn't go as planned.

He ended up having to work Monday morning

and then his knee started playing up

so he couldn't walk far.

We still had fun.

He spent quite a bit of time playing games

with Red Monster.

It's given me time to catch up on a few projects.

I've finished my monster foot

and the headband I was making

with the Craftsy course

learning to knit in the round.

My bag is coming along nicely

It's getting longer and longer :-)

I am also designing an owl.

I'm making it with this beautiful

hand-painted yarn.

I can't wait to see how he turns out

Hand-painted Butia Yarn Merino Blend Alegria

from Xena Knits

Now don't laugh but I am reading

Needled to Death

(A knitting mystery book 2)

by Maggie Sefton

It's actually quite good.

I've already read the first in the series and really enjoyed it.

I love the fact that it brings yarn, spinning, weaving & knitting into the story.

I love the descriptions of the yarn.

Not only do you get a good murder mystery to follow

you also get recipes and a pattern as well.

The stories are based around Kelly

who moved to the area after her Aunt was murdered.

The first book is centered around her Aunt's death

and this story is based around the death of an

acquaintance she had recently met.

One of the main places the stories are based

around is the yarn shop House of Lambspun.

In this place she makes her new friends

and learns to knit.

Each of the characters is fun & you will laugh

at different parts.

It isn't the best story I've ever read but I couldn't

wait to read this book, the 2nd book in the series.

Now it's your turn to share what you are doing.

It doesn't have to be crochet, anything you are making

is perfect.

Please add the pin to your post & check out a couple

of other people that are sharing their work
