Book L*st

I did go to the library this morning and this is what I brought home:

1. Wendy Knits by Wendy D. Johnson
I really like reading her knitting blog
2. iwoz by Steve Wozniak
i heart apple and his autobiography is really good so far
3. KISS and Make-Up by Gene Simmons
Huge fan. love the music, love his persona, admire his business sense
4. Kaleidoscope by Suzanne Simanaitis
this book is really artsy and has a lot of things in it that will jump start my creativity
5. Knitting loves Crochet by Candy Jensen
i love her crochet books and i love the idea of taking the best of both worlds
6. Everyday Pasta - Giada de Laurentiis
i love watching her show and i love pasta and maybe someday I will learn to cook.

I think this goes to show that I will read just about anything. I finished KISS and Make-up already. I am working on the others. I like variety, so I usually have a few started at the same time.

My WEBS order arrived today. It came in the tiniest box, so I almost thought that they didn't ship it all together. I opened it up though and it was all there! The vickie Howell yarn that i purchased from her Love collection is so soft and slick. The Andi and Blane colorway is more of a coral pink then I thought it would be, but it is still really pretty. The Ennis and Jack colorway is a gray/lavender color and I think it's my favorite. My new addi hook size H was there along with my two skeins of Brown Sheep Worsted in Chianti. It really does look the color of Chianti and it is such a gorgeous deep burgundy/purple/red color. I love it. So, now that I have the yarn and the hook, I can start working on Slouchy. I just have to finish the big afghan first. I am almost done with my current skein so I am on the home stretch.
