Knitting Mysteries

I am really enjoying reading any Knitting Mystery Series I can find, at the moment I am reading the Monica Ferris Series, I have read the 1st two books in this seires plus some others, but I have now find the inter library system can access books in other libraries all over Canada so I am slowly getting the books in order(Well I am tying) so I can read them as close to in order as possible, Last week I read..Crewel World now I am reading ..Framed In Lace, next I have.. A Stitch In Time, I also have ..Crewel Yule here to read, and I have already read... Knitting Bones and Thai Died, all really good books :)
Is anyone else read this series? or any other Knitting/Craft themed Books?

I still haven't finished....

My first pair of Socks! I got busy at Xmas time knitting for the craft fair and knitting gifts, and since then I have made a few dishclothes and now the Baby Blankets, I need to have just time to concentrate on the socks as for me I rally have to concentrate when doing them.

I still have to do the hair and face....

for my GollyWog.. I can't seem to do the hair at all, so I may have to wait until May, when my pen=pal Ella(From England) is visiting Vancouver, so she can help me as she sent me the pattern.

Lilac Blossom Blanket

I am making another Blanket from the pattern..Lilac Blossom, but this time I am doing it in a cream color, I really like this pattern, and it is so easy and fast to knit up, I'll add a photo to this post once it gets a bit bigger .This one I will give to Sara, as she is pregnant with her first baby :)
I will also make another one in pink to send to NZ as my God Child in NZ had a baby girl in Nov.

Craft Supplies Oranization

I finally sorted out my craft supplies...Scrapbooking and CardMaking, stuff I got those plastic sets of draws and went through all my stuff and made everything all neat (Not sure how long it will last ? )
Next I want to get into the storage area and get al my Knitting Stash into rubbermaid containers, now that could take some time, It is over flowing in there. I don't know how it go so messy?? LOL!
But I have to say I love having all my scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies all tidy and easy to get at, I have already started just making cards as I need them as it is no effort to do that now as I don't have to dig through piles of stuff, it is wonderful :)
