Congrats to Karyn, our first winner of 2013! Anyone else besides me forget it was the last night of the month? ;)

Angie, no library books for me on Wednesday, just kids' books. The one I like from this bunch has two Beatrix Potter stories in one book and a CD included. This edition must have come out around the same time as the movie Miss Potter (which I liked) since it's the main actors of the movie narrating the stories. The other books are just so-so in my opinion but the boys seem to like them.
I did return Private Justice on Tuesday, at the city library. I found the rest of that series at the same time, so I have Shadow of Doubt now and will see if I can wait until I finish a couple more on my unwritten to-read list. If not, it will get back to the library that much sooner and I'll grab the third!
I grabbed a free Kindle book recently that's about Tunisian crochet. I thought that sounded pretty neat, to be able to achieve the look with a different method. I haven't converted the book file to ePub yet for my Nook, but it's nice to have it. Now I also know I can check YouTube to see how it's done, not just read about it. (Like sign language, I think stitching is best taught visually!)
Hope you had a great Friday with all the things in your schedule. Give those horses some love for me next time, 'kay? :) (I watched one of the Flicka movies while I was sick last week and it reminded me how much I love watching horses. I should pay attention for equestrian competitions on TV like my mum does...)
Karyn, I just started knitting on Monday. I've wanted to learn for a while, especially when I began crochet and thought a single hook was unbalanced and knitting with two needles sounded better in my mind. (I'm weird, just go with it.)
I'm really enjoying it so far, though the first evening was frustrating. Kinda like the first crochet lesson where I just couldn't seem to get it. By the next day, knitting made sense. I did have to take apart the work from the second night because there were careless stitches leading to larger and larger rows, but videos and tips online were helpful again. Now I think I could tackle crochet in a smarter way, too. ;)
I'll probably need longer needles for a scarf project, but I guess the small ones are good for smaller projects, so that's why there's such a variety in sizes available? It would be fun to make baby hats at some point. Maybe I could be one of those talented ladies who make those items and donate them to the local hospital! Other than that, I'm hoping for some practical items for myself and gifts for others. Hopefully most of the potential recipients would appreciate homemade as much as I do. :)
