Books and Yarn

After a busy week at work and a very successful crafting weekend, I decided that I should maybe update this. I finished my projects for the Gilmore girls swap after much debate on what I should make. My next swap is a 12 month long mail swap based on the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I have never read this book, but the basic idea behind it is really cool.
The Rainbow Brite scarf that I have been making on my loom knitter is 75% completed and is awaiting an emergency yarn run to Tulsa next weekend so that I can get two more balls of it so I can finish the scarf and have enough left over for fringe and maybe a matching hat? I also completed another hat for charity while I was watching Desperate Housewives. Bree is my favorite. I can relate to her the most. I haven't made much progress reading Wicked but I will probably read some more of that tonight since I am between projects while I wait for my knitting machine to arrive.
My Quilting with the Muppets book finally arrived yesterday. I didn't realize it was being shipped media mail so that's why it took so long to arrive. I totally want to make something with Kermit on it. I just have to find the right fabric. I also bought The Martha Rules yesterday and devoured it in a couple of hours. It is probably one of the best business books that i have read and it is very entertaining without sounding lame.
The weather really cooled off today so I'm loving it because I can wear fall clothes now like my hoodies and not sweat to death. Yay.
I don't really have any plans coming up for the rest of October. I'll be working nights at the warehouse and probably tinkering with the knitting machine once it gets here this week.
