Booking Through Thursday

Okay, so I have a question. If you look at Magknits, it says that a new issue will be up Tuesday, January 3. Isn't today the 6th? Hmmmmm.

Stashalongers: I'll be starting my blog patrol tomorrow afternoon or evening. I have already visited a few and you have some great projects going. Hang in there and be strong!


Booking Through Thursday



  1. Do you have a reading plan for the new year? Why or why not? I have an ongoing list of things I'd like to get read--does that count as a reading plan? I like to list stuff I want to read because I get a real feeling of accomplishment as I am able to cross them off.

  2. If you do, what is it? Just a list of books I want to read or reread--my biggest plan is to read Lord of the Rings and write up a cross-curricular lesson plan--I think it lends itself well to a large reading unit.

Thanks, Kim! It's not that bad... especially knowing that there's some socks that rock that I ordered on the 31st still on its way to me. ;)

Writing up a cross-curricular lesson plan for the LotR sounds cool and very ambitious!

A list of books I want to read??? Nah, I read whatever is available at my dad's that I want to read hahaha. My dad buys books and books and books, and some of them are books I want to read, others are not :)

I do have a list of books, all those I need to read for Modern Novel and Mexican American Lit which is around 70 books. Also I hope to read the Knit the Classics selections this year.

Here is my weekly stash update Kim...

Darn, when I read you were hosting a stashalong, I though it meant to buy yarn. Oops.

According to my email (I'm on the MagKnits list), the new issue should be up and it's supposed to be all about kids. I haven't checked it out yet though.

The stashalong is going fine. I bought the Rowan Felted Tweed (which was on hold at Strawberry Tree), but that was one of my exceptions. And I passed on going with Jenny and Cynthia to the yarn shops. No need for further temptation, I thought.

Hi Kim! I just updated my blog with a completed Gioia. Knitted in STASH yarn - granted it had only been in my stash about 10 days, but I'm still purchase free :-).

No reading goals right now, but that may be because I'm knitting focused right now, and I work in a school, so I have prof reading going on...your cross-curr. unit sounds splendid. We offer a Tolkien elective to seniors...

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Memory Lane

 Came back…looking through old posts.  There are many times when I really miss blogging. Life has been super busy.  Work, family…pretty stressful. I still have delusions of grandeur that I will find time to get back to the things I love to do unfortunately for the last few years it has been a lot of HAVE to do versus WANT to do.
