Last post for this year.

 So, as this year comes to an end I thought I should do one last post. I don't know what 2022 has in store for us, but am hoping it is much better. Will this virus ever be conquered, or is it something we just have to learn to live with? Wearing a mask in the heat of summer is not easy but if it keeps us safe, then I will keep wearing one.  

One thing I do know, I shall  keep on kntting and keep on reading. I can't stop either of them. Lindisfarne is coming along really well, and I do like the colours I have chosen for it. The first one I did was quite dark in comprison, and this one is nice and light. I can't promise that I won't start more projects than I finish, but, I will try to finish more projects. I also won't promise to not buy more yarn, but I will try to use more from my stash. I also can't promise that I won't get more patterns, but I will try to use more of the ones that I already have.

Reading is something else I enjoy. can't say I have finished every book that I got out of the library, but, I will try to finish more of them. I also need to get out of my comfort zone, and try new authors. Reading groups are great, but down here at the bottom of the world, one can feel just a little isolated. Especially when we don't have access to alot of the authors that others mention. We only have a small library here. 

:ove me a good book

I have just finished reading a really good book. I love those books that keep you reading to the end, just so you can find out what happens, and why. This book kept you guessing for quite some time, as it is written in the first person; so you really don't get a proper 'bead' on the main character - who is also the narrator of the book. The ending was right, and for once I didn't feel let down. Now I want to try this authors other books, it seems he has written a few. Wonder if they will be as good as this one was. 

Been quiet I know

 I've been processing some bad news that we received at work this past week. Our store manager has cancer, and won't be back to the store. It ahs hit several of us pretty bad. On the day we were told, I was okay with the news, felt sad, but not too ovverwhelmed. But, the day we were told that she won't be coming back was not good for me. I spent pretty much the rest of the day fighting back tears. I did try to stay busy, so I didn't thave too much time to think about it. This will be the 6th person fro our store  that has got cancer. Of the other five, only two are still alive. It just makes things a little hard. 

On the knitting front, I am making good progress on the second baby shawl I am knitting for Karen. I am on to the last repeat of the pattern, and only have the twelve rows of the border to do, then it will be finished. I have had a bit of fun wth this pattern.
