I have been knitting a baby shawl for the prayer ministry this week. It is old feather and fan pattern which is so graceful also very easy.

The church I attend does not have a prayer shawl ministry and I have been trying to interest them in one. There has been little or no response, however, we are very active in the Cornelius Project which provides blankets at Christmas for the homeless. I am going to try to interest them in making afghans for next Christmas. Hopefully, they will respond to this project and we will form a knitting and crocheting group.

Twilight has proven to be very good. It is well written and the characters are lifelike.

My Parks and Rec knitting group has been meeting here for the last few months. There weren't enough for a class, however several wanted help with their projects. Also, my neighbor is starting to knit with us. Hopefully, in January there will be enough interest for a class.

And now, almost one year later...

Today I went to the library to check out Stephanie Myer's "Twilight" Even though this book came out quite awhile ago, it is so popular I had to order it. It should be here Monday. Makenzie, Brenda, Whitney and I are going to read it. Anyone else want to join us?

I have been reading "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat-Moon. He is traveling around the United States on the secondary highways (the blue highways on the old maps). He meets a lot of characters along the way. He's traveling in an old van that he has converted by building a bed in the back, he has a cooler and a small travel stove, also a Port-a-potty. He does eat out a lot and stays in motels occasionally. Pretty primitive.
