I actually got a couple of comments about my blog a few entries ago....
Too bad they're spam....
At least they are polite spam...
They started out by complimenting my blog. They said it was one of their favorites. They said it had a high ranking....
I think maybe they are mistaken.
I saw through their devilish tricks. I will not believe fake flattery...
But for a moment, I was happy. I had comments. Me.... comments.... I should've known it was a fantasy. hahaha...

Reading
As you can see, I'm attempting to bring things up to date with the blog.... I've been a little blog lazy lately.
This month our book club is reading (well actually we're listening to...) The Promise of a Lie by Howard Roughan. I listened to it once and I remember it being very suspenseful. It grabbed my attention and I wanted to see where the story went... but there was a problem with the cd's and the last few tracks of each one were garbled. Being the impatient, I want to know what happens type, I suffered through it. Now I'm kind of left with a sour taste in my mouth so I'm planning to re-listen to it this week (the book hostess gave me a new copy on mp3, so hopefully that will be better.)
I think the book club is now going to create a new rule.
No audio books.
Personally I love audio books and I've never had this problem before, but I've always purchased my own copy. I believe the hostess burned us copies to listen to.... not such a good plan.
I'm also reading Knitting Without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmermann. Athena (knitting teacher) recommended it from the knitting class libary. Ok this book is opening up a whole new world to me. You mean there are knitting books that you're supposed to READ? I thought knitting books were just patterns. I'm loving the book. It's a quick easy read and I've learned sooo much.
I tend to knit a bit loosely. I always have to drop a needle size or two to get guage. I envied those nice little perfect stitches that belong to those tight knitters. I thought I was a bad knitter.... well according to Elizabeth Zimmermann, I'm a mighty fine knitter. LOL. If one were to pick a style she said it is much better to knit looser. As far as the uneven stitches? They add character and tend to settle in after a few washings. Her theory is that the remarkable stitching we admire from long ago.... has simply been washed more. I don't know if her theory is accurate or not, but it works for me. I'm choosing to believe.

Little Italy Festa
We went to the Little Italy Festa this weekend and saw the "Chalk La Strada." It was absolutely amazing. Artists worked for two days to create these masterpieces on the street.... and then... at then end of the festa... they wash them off!!
