Book Blog tour victims/hostesses

A little while ago, I asked if any of you would be interested in hosting a blog tour of my little booklet, Learn to Knit Cables on Looms, some of you were interested and at the time I hadn't received the complimentary copies of the booklet, but I have them now.

If you are interested in hosting a little blog book tour, (both looming and needle knit blogs are eligible :) ). Drop me a comment. I will send a copy of the booklet to 10 blog tour hostesses for a brief review and you are welcome to ask me questions and I'll answer to the best of my abilities. Drop me a comment...down there.

Drop me a comment anyways even if you don't want to participate...I am craving comments! Okay, I am feeling miserable and down and I need some TLC.

If you are wondering why I feel miserable and sad: the DVD in my TV is broken :(. It keeps spitting the DVDs out. So, I am either going to have to fork out some money for a separate DVD player or probably spend money fixing the internal one.

Note: I will choose 10 from all the names that leave a comment on this post by Wednesday (1/23) at 7am.

Reading bits and knitting tidbits

Well, the weekend passed and with it came Harry Potter 6. Yeah, I was a sucker and I went to the Borders party and got one of the first few copies--I was number 1071 (they started at 1000) so I was not very far behind :).  Although I was very tempted to start reading it that same night/morning. I behaved and started the next day. I am pleased to say that I finished it Sunday night around 1am.  My thoughts on the book: it left an empty space. I feel like I read the first 500 pages just to get to the good stuff, and once I was in the good stuff, it ended very abruptly. Now, I have to wait about 5 years for the grand finale. 

In knitting news, I procrastinated for a good month to have a project done, now I am trying to catch up. The project is very simple, loom/knit/crochet 6 Dishcloths and make them into butterfly shape with a piece of Chenille Stem. I am taking this as an opportunity to practice my needle knitting then transposing the stitch instructions into looming.  Here are my first two.
