And she can read too!

I was looking through my email and found a great list of all the books my book club has read over the past 2 years. We are working on year 3 and I finally decided that I should try to keep a running list of the books we read, plus those that I do on my own. It makes me look smart and I love lists. :)

February- The Jane Austen Book Club
March-Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
April- The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel
May- The Tenth Circle, Interpreter of Maladies
June- Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, The Geography of Bliss, Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance
July- The Double Bind, Restless Virigins: Love, Sex, and Survival at a New England Prep School

Napping and Knitting

Where oh where has the Knotty Girl gone...HELLO?! I'm right here!

No excuses in my lack of blogging but I'm going to try to get back into it. For the past few months I've had a nice break from school and I've been using all of that free time to do what I do best...nap, knit and read.



I decided to take a little break from my Rusted Root sweater and make a pair of socks for the boy. Enter the Thuja socks. It seems like a nice manly pattern and I was able to find a sock yarn I have used before to make these fantastic socks. They are moving along swimmingly so I'm quite pleased with the pattern. I should be finished with the pair in the next day or so. Now the true task...to figure out how best to package and present them. Its time to start cyber stalk a few of my favorite sock knitters and their blogs.

On my current reading list is one of my new favorite authors, Jhumpa Lahiri, and her new collection of stories Unaccustomed Earth. The stories included in this collection are a bit longer than her first book, Interpreter of Maladies. However, that just means that there is more to love!

As for the napping part of my schedule...that is just it. I like to nap so I'm trying to do it as much as possible. :)

Knotty Love!
