Harry Potter 7 pt 2 and a mismatched pair

July 15, 2011

Today  we  went on a date.   Dinner at a Mexican place and   went to see Harry Potter Seven  part 2
We loved the movie.   I think it was the best one.

I finished a couple of books this week  The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Clayton Waite. How women have changed and stayed the same!  We all seek to reinvent ourselves at every  age of our lives. Of course I always had more options than these characters.   I can't help but be grateful to my mother's generation of women who wanted more for themselves and their daughters.

Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy was  another story including characters from the Scarlet  Feather, Heart and Soul,and  Evening  Class.   It's  a friendly happy read.

Knits for the first half of the month

dishcloths for home and Pine Ridge Reservation.    Finished a blanket from 8 inch squares for Bundles of Love  the ladies from  Culver's Knit Wits  made the squares and I'm assembling them    here's  blanket number 3:

I'm also working on a pair of footie socks for me.    I didn't have enough yarn  for two socks  and the shop was out of that colorway  so  i found one with a couple of the colors in common.  This sock has the heel in the first  color way and toes from the second.   the second sock  has a heel from the second colorway and will have toes from the first(I'm half done with the second sock)  Mismatched matched socks:

   

Rained most of yesterday and all last night.  Sun showed his face  about 11:00 a.m.    Closing windows  and  turning on the air conditioning.
