Joining Ginny again this week for her yarn along...
The knitting and the reading (and the living) have gotten so much better since we conceded and turned on the AC. How much I was hoping to spare our energy bill (and the world) of it but, alas, we were baking in this house of ours. No amount of cold showers helped.
My mom's cowl has already been ripped once. Luxe Alpaca is a cushy, squishy soft and dreamy yarn to knit with, but it really shows mistakes (as does the cowl pattern). I am in no hurry though, just enjoying the knitting.
Besides lots and lots of books about trains for our littlest, I have started reading This Life is in Your Hands based on a Amazon recommendation and I fear it is another one of those books that I can not put down. Drat! They make me so tired! Pining to go upstairs and read it right now as a matter of fact. Just one more of Netflix's Project Runway episodes before I can get to it...

I can't keep up with your book recommendations! I'm going to have to start keeping a list! :) Sorry the energy bill is suffering, but glad you're all cooler!
Oh I love the color of that yarn! And I looked at that book, and am definitely interested in reading it myself.
Alas, yes to AC on these days- it had gotten so sweltering here we were just unable to function. How did they do it long ago, and with all those skirts and things they wore?
Thanks for your comment on my blog today! I too am struggling with AC-guilt, although ours is currently broken so we are practicing forced-frugality at the moment and sleeping on the back porch until the repair man can get around to us.
Anyway, nice to "meet" you :)
Oh that book sounds great...I have some Eliot Coleman books so I'm especially interested.
Yes, we've had to concede to AC on some of the hotter days. I was going crazy in the heat.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am enjoying looking around yours. I did my student teaching in Flower Mound years ago, but we live on the west side of Dallas not far from Richardson. Our homeschool co-op and church are both in Richardson so we spend a lot of time there. I grew up in Garland.
