A Few WIP (Work in Progress) Finished

I finished the lap afghan in the green yarns.  It will be the last blanket to be crocheted until fall/winter time.  I prefer small projects during hot weather here.


Finished the current knitted dishcloth.  I had forgotten about it, as it got tucked in the midst of my projects.  There isn't much yarn left on the yarn cone, so I'm not sure what I'll use the remaining yarn for yet (this color was discontinued).



I finished another book, hence another book blanket granny square.  I don't know how people can read 200 plus books a year.  I do not have the time to sit, and sit to read that much, but there has been progress this year (much more than last year).  

A few of you have given me a few ideas for audio books too.  Like combining an outdoor walk/hike with such books, or while cleaning house.  It's a year of new things and "first times" this year, so it may happen.  This is the first year to read an ebook and could be the first year to borrow audio books.

I don’t have time to read books either. I figure for me, I will focus on books when life starts to slow down due to age and health. I still have things to do. I tend to get distracted when listening to the audio books.
Love that green lap blanket.

Nice WIP's you have going.
I read almost entirely electronically now. Though I am not a big fan of audio books I do like listening to them when I am doing a project.

Nice projects!

Hi. I'm wondering how you liked the book you just read?

Debby, that's what I am afraid of (being distracted with audio books). I tend to concentrate on what I am doing, so it's typically music I'm listening to when cleaning and cooking.

Anne in the kitchen, I am using the free library system now, where you do need wifi or internet to read the books. I'm looking into other free options in case I am somewhere where there is no internet or wifi.

Far Side of Fifty, thank you.

diane in norther wis, this one was book #3 in a series called the Paradise series. There are parts in it some people may night enjoy, but the series was a quick read for me and I liked them all.
