On the Hook

 

The latest granny square for my "book" blanket.  I try to match the colors the best I can, and with what yarn I already have.  I just have at join it to the blanket.  The book is being passed on to one of the kids, so another book out the door and off the shelf.

That's an interesting idea. I've seen temperature scarves and here's another record keeping idea in yarn. Nice!

Why is it feast or famine with library holds?! I had to finish one by today but I can’t even start Ina Garten’s “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” because it’s due today. Ugh. Back to the bottom of the waiting list.

I have good news too: my new Wolf dual fuel stove gets delivered late this afternoon! I haven’t had a working oven since early December! I miss baking and roasted veggies. Both my guy and I want meatloaf too. That will be tomorrow’s dinner. I use the Natasha’s Kitchen recipe made free form.

Leigh, if you go back a few posts, I have more books I finished with more granny squares. It is a new fun way to use up scrap yarn too.

Katie C, that is great you are getting the stove. I can't imagine not being able to roast vegetables. I at least hope you had other ways to cook. That is good news.

Yes, on the library holds and such. It is nice to borrow free, but sometimes it is a race against the clock.

Was the book good? This is a fun project!

I love how this square turned out! What a fun project! My latest project has been doing some spring cleaning which isn't as fun haha. We are having our carpets cleaned today so that will be a treat. Can't wait to see what you make next!

Far Side of Fifty, I enjoyed the book. It is his life experiences in relation to reference to the Bible. Like a devotional sort of. Pretty good stories in it.

Thanks Jackie, I am crocheting a granny square for each book I finish reading, then making a join as you go blanket with them.

What a fun idea! I've been thinking of making a memory blanket with the scraps from socks that I knit.

The book blanket is a clever idea!

Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage, thanks. I am so motivated to read books that I own, and more that were gifted and borrowed. It's been a lot of fun to be honest.

Anne in the kitchen, thank you. Even my husband is excited about this blanket being made. He's probably more happy that I'm giving all of my books that I read to the kids ha ha ha!
