Hello blog land :), time for a new post. The nice fall weather has inspired me to start another blanket (even though I still have one in the works). I got the pattern from the wrapper on a skein of Caron Simply Soft, and it's designed by Marilyn Losee. I'm not using Caron yarn, though, I'm using I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby in the color Linen.
The blanket is Aran cables in crochet. (I'll post a picture soon.)  It's very pretty, and easy for anyone that knows how to do FPdc (front post double crochet) and Popcorn stitch.  I'm enjoying making it very much. I love Aran craft items! Nothing is more cozy then a cup of sweet hot tea, some soft music (I choose Celtic) and crocheting!
I'm still working on a fun triangle shawl in knitting and am needle-pointing (is that how you say it?) a hummingbird picture I'm going to give my mother for Christmas . . .shhhhhhh! ;)
I'm still reading Middlemarch--I'm one chapter away from finishing the second volume--and I'm loving it. Classics are always a favorite of mine. There are few I don't enjoy at least a little, and I'm really enjoying Middlemarch.
I'm almost ashamed to say I haven't read any of Eliot's work before, but I'm definitely going to read more. The combination of the wonderful writing and the intriguing fact that George Eliot was actully a female author that never unveiled herself as such, makes for interesting reading all the way around.
I don't think of myself as a professional to critique, but if I had to describe her work, I'd say it was a cross between Charlotte Bronte and Thackeray. Good stuff!
Well, that's all for this post, just a project/book update.

Au revoir, blog land!
