I went to knit night at Barnes and Noble. Quite a crowd had gathered in the Starbucks cafe.
Because we had a special guest! Author Terri Dulong came to talk to us and sign her new book that's about knitting.
I knew she was coming tonight but I wasn't prepared for being so drawn into the story.
Usually, chick lit can be a little hard for me to get into. And after I tried reading the Friday Night Knitting Club I haven't really been excited about a fiction knitting book. But Terri's book instantly drew me in as she described the story. Terri was also gave a really fun talk. It was an unexpectedly nice evening. Especially since I couldn't walk away with out a new book! And I got a lot of knitting done.
Finished the ribbing on the first sleeve and started the second. The big green blob grows! And it's actually looking like a sweater (unless you are
Diana and then you say it looks like a dragon).

I am with Diana on the dragon comment.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to look that book up. I managed to force my way through Friday Night Knit Club, but I will not be reading the second one, I'm not sure I can make it through two. The sweater is looking great!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried reading The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood? i actually liked this one better then The Friday Night Knitting Club.
ReplyDeleteWhich Barnes N Noble was that? I wanna go next time! I wonder if they have knit night at the one near me... Anyway, glad you had a good time. Let us know how the book is!
ReplyDeleteDragon, huh? It's coming along great. You'll be done in no time.
ReplyDeleteI got the ebook version of that book when Sony offered it for free. I'm trying to skim through it, but I am NOT a chick-lit reader at ALL.
ReplyDeleteNow if someone would write a science fiction knitting novel, with space battles, I would be SO there. :/
