It’s that time again, folks! TIME TO WIN! This week will definitely be tough, but I think it’s worth it. Here’s what we’re playing for:
We’re taking a trip to the Far East! We’ve got three skeins of beautiful recycled silk made from sari yarns.
I bought the yarn from the Wool Peddler, and had a wonderful conversation with Stephanie. She and her husband just moved to East Newfane, Vermont. G and I eloped in Newfane! She’s got some beautiful, beautiful yarns and the service was friendly and fast and I would definitely shop with her again. Find out what she has to say about this gorgeous yarn as well. Not seen in the picture, but included in the prize, is a pattern from Just One More Row for the very cool Sunburst Sling Bag. A perfect match for the recycled silk.
Also in the package are these amazing Japanese figures – PERFECT for stitch markers! I picked them up while I was out and about with the girls.
There’s also a lantern moon project bag and maybe some other stuff. I’m always looking for little stuff to stick in the bag. Maybe some surprises?
Okay. The moment you’ve all be waiting for – this week’s question.
I have published FOUR SHORT STORIES (one has been published twice – so FIVE publications.)
AND THE JOURNAL IN WHICH
IT WAS PUBLISHED.

Things are going well here in Philly. My dad seems to be doing okay (thanks for all your good wishes) and it’s been nice to spend time with the kids and my sisters, as always. I’m coming back home later on today – I’m in package mode now. All the processing has been done and it’s time to send everything out. Fedex is my friend. That’s my mantra from now until 12/26.
I’ve been knitting a little bit – I’m hoping for a finished sock by the end of the weekend. And maybe a finished mitten if I’m a good girl and make lots of progress with my work. Soon. I’ll be able to relax soon.
Thanks for all the book ideas! WOW! What a great thread! I have to say, I was really suprised to see that I have read most of the books listed – well – okay – A LOT of the books listed. I’m not doing as bad as I thought. I used to be known among my writing friends (and most everyone else I know) as being extremely well read. I’ve been feeling not so well read, although I’m feeling a bit better. I’m thinking that The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and East of Eden are at the top of my list. Also, it’s almost time for my birthday book, so that might be the top option. Thanks again!
Don’t forget! You’ve got to be IN IT to WIN IT! Have fun!
East of Eden is spectacular. I just finished Wicked– weird but good. I am now half-way through the Chronicles of Narnia. I read them as a child and now find that I barely remember any of the books other than The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Read on!
Kavalier and Clay is one of my favorite books of all time. Of course East of Eden is the only Steinbeck I ever liked. That guy was way too depressing for the most part.
I forgot to mention The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. And then the sequel, Children of God.
Both great book ideas. You’ll love them!! You already sound better, too. Hope that’s true.
Oh, Kavalier and Clay is one of my favorite books! Wow, you have a lot of readers here, don’t you. 🙂
I finally received my book for the KAL. It is
even better than the link. All of the sweaters show promise. I would love to join. Sign me Up!
I’m still debating on the new knitalong–I’d love to see that book though 🙂 Great prizes in this one. I stopped by to let you know that I posted one finished Jaywalker sock 🙂
Two of my all time favs – I love those books, for real. I would actually read them again and again, WHICH I NEVER DO!!!
