Afghan

I haven't been doing a lot besides reading but I am slowly working on this afghan for our prayer shawl group. I got the pattern free a couple of years ago, but I can't find the website now. If you're into crochet or knitting you gotta visit the Bernat website. You have to join but it's free and they have a gazillion free patterns (at least LOL). I like Bernat cause the yarn is such a reasonable price. I'm making this shawl/afghan from one ball of yarn that cost me $8.

and most importantly it's really, really easy! I've tried a few other projects and I'm just not that good at knitting/crocheting anymore. I had put it aside for awhile but have committed myself to crocheting 2 rows a night so it should be done by the time our group resumes in September. It will finish about twice this size.

Yesterday I did housework. Boy I'm not used to so much work. Because I wasn't able to do anything for a few months the whole house needs thorough cleaning. I need to pace myself. It's going up to 29C today (@90F), so far the house is cool but it's going to get really warm this afternoon. The outside needs a lot of trimming too but I can't stand the sun or the heat so I won't be going out there.

I may go down to the boat later and read. I've discovered it's a great place to sit on a warm day. I can't go inside much cause it's constantly breaking down and the floor is constantly just one big hole cause DH is working on the engines. But I can go up top.

I do have a blog where I was listing all the books I've read but I was reading so fast that I haven't been updating it. My current book is called Flash and Bones. Kathy Reich's books are the inspiration for the TV show Bones (which I love) and she really is a licensed forensic anthropologist in both North Carolina and in Quebec Canada. So the stuff that you read is correct to the processes. She's a great writer.
