I have been working a bit on my poncho, and have only the straps to finish on the chickami (I don't feel up to measuring right now to see how long I want them).
I did, however, finish The Birth of Venus-- thank you Lauren for recommending it-- I did really enjoy it. I've started Anna Karenina, but don't really have the patience right now to get through those long names *snicker*. I've also found out that a library in my library network has copies of Vogue Knitting-- so I've requested a half dozen copies for interlibrary loan. Oh how I love the library system. I'm almost ashamed to admit, however, that I walked out of my library empty handed this morning. Couldn't find anything to strike my fancy.
