What I'm Reading

A year and a half ago, I was in the throes of my senior thesis at college. I was writing about knitting and gender issues. I discovered the book, Knit Lit but quickly realized that it was not going to be useful in my [very long] paper. I picked it up again on a whim the other day & have so far been charmed by the essays it contains. I love hearing about others' experiences in the knitting world-of their troubles with a particular project or their success stories. Or how they donated to charity through the craft. They were quite short essays, but I have a feeling I'll finish the book!

On another topic, I have a piece of fanfiction in the firefly 'verse'  that's been 'languishing' for the last 5.5 months (explained by the fact that I was hiking in the woods for this period of time-creative writing and hiking don't seem to mix too well for me). It is, technically complete, as each chapter is independent of the rest and can stand alone. I don't think I"m done, yet. I am however, stuck as to what to focus on next (each seem to be focusing on an aspect of Jayne and of River). Perhaps I shall simply stare at it until inspiration strikes. Or I could actually work on an original fiction short story that I had an idea for....

As for what to expect on this blog-hopefully I'll find interesting links, tidbits of news..I'll probably share what I'm thinking of purchasing, hiking gear wise, yarnwise, and maybe I'll even be brave enough to share some writing!!
