Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton

I enjoyed this book very much. It is a quick read. The author keeps your interest throughout the whole book.


She makes you suspicious of every new character introduced into the book. Kelly is an accountant, her Aunt is murdered and she

doesn't think that man that has been arrested for the crime is the killer. She along with the friends she meets at House of Lambspun

yarn shop help her fine the real killer. If you enjoy knitting and mystery you will enjoy this book.

French Silk Fudge

My Granddaughter wanted to make some fudge for her Daddy as a gift. So we spent the morning making French Silk Fudge!! YUM!!!!!!
This recipe is a little tricky. We did the microwave method to make this fudge. It says to cook the fudge in the microwave for 3 minutes. Take it out stir it and cook again on high for 3 minutes. You have to watch it really, really close when you microwave it for the second 3 minutes, so that it does nor bubble up over the sides of your bowl. The recipe says use a large bowl. That is very important use the largest bowl that will fit into your microwave, because the sugar and milk does bubble up a lot!!
This is AMAZING FUDGE!!!!

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Anna is married to a man that she does not Love, but she has a son with him that she adores!!! But I wonder did she really Love her son more then herself? Because she sacrificed her relationship with her son, so that she could have a young lover. She lives in Russia during the 19th century, a very rich,  beautiful women, and that thinks she can have any man that she wants. I think that she is a very conceited and selfish women. She has a daughter with her young lover, that she pays very little attention to. Her daughter is being raised by a nurse, that lives in the home with her, and her lover. Any way in the end of the book she throws herself under a train and dies. Her husband keeps her son, and takes her daughter because she has his name. Her young lover is devastated and goes off to war. Another love story in this book is between Levin and Kitty. Their story is very different from Anna's. This is a very long book. 995 pages. But I enjoyed the book very much.

Hand woven scarf

I absolutely LOVE weaving. I have found that I can knit every single day, but it seems that I only weave in the Fall and Winter.


I guess that I am to busy outside reading and sunbathing in the summer to take time out for weaving. I made this had woven scarf for a friend.

It is 6 inches wide and 88 inches long. I made it very long so she can wrap it around her neck and head in many ways. It is sure to keep

her neck warm this winter. We have very COLD, and SNOWY winters in South Dakota.
