We recently ended our school (we're home-schooled), and I have a lot more free time to read and work on knitting.
I've read most of the books in the house, so naturally I look for books at the library. The last time I went, I discovered a new series. I finished the first one, but the one I'm currently reading is House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts. I found it in the kids section, because most books found in the young adult fiction are just plain trash. Not always, but this time i found this and am really enjoying it. I love finding books nobody has heard of before, rather than reading books everyone and there mother read.
Needle work hasn't been on my agenda recently, but I'm making myself finish all the projects I have in the works. I am knitting a shawl that I haven't worked on in awhile. So long, that I messed up on the pattern. Thankfully I have a brain, and made a few changes to what I am going to do. Not a big deal, I think it'll turn out just fine.
Can you tell me a little more about the book? I think our (homeschooled also) kids would enjoy it. We don't finish the school year for another two weeks, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices for the shawl. Is it your own pattern?
No it's not my own pattern sadly. Maybe someday I'll create my own patterns.
ReplyDeleteThe first book is about three siblings who get stuck in certain fiction novels. It's full of mystery, action and it's pretty funny too. I think any one will love it, I even got one of my little brothers to read it as well! I got ahold of my books from the library. There are two if them and the first one is called House of Secrets. Hope your children enjoy it as much as I did!
