Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Gods grace in its various forms.

Wednesday Yarn Along

Linking up with Ginny at small things for the weekly yarn along :)  I just love this way of being held accountable for my knit things - it's encouraging me to complete items so I can post pictures of something new!  This project, though, will probably take a while to do...it's my first time reading a chart and my first time using lace weight yarn.  I normally knit with worsted and this threadlike, hairy stuff is confounding me!  It's incredibly beautiful and I can't wait to see the finished project - I just want to make sure I don't toss it in the air in the meantime!  LOL :)



The book is Nora Robert's The Search and I have to say her books are some of my guilty pleasures!  She pretty much has the same type of story told in different ways but each new book thrills me :)  It's like watching all the different incarnations of Law and Order...they follow a formula and though predictable, it's extremely successful.  In any case, this is yet another highly entertaining story with strong female characters.

BTW, in case anyone was wondering, I gave up on Pride and Prejudice.  For some reason, I just can't seem to finish it!  Maybe I just like instant gratification or maybe more suspense - wading through all the pleasantries and intrigues of the time in that language just exhausts me!  Someday I will prevail and conquer this classic then I might take on Sense and Sensibility!  Ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves!

Hope you all have a marvelous Wednesday!
