fun stuff 04/28/15

knitting:
if you had read my previous post... 
you would know that i am up to my ears with elephant's ears !!!
the last few days have been spent transferring bergenias (also known as elephant's ears) from my friend's garden to mine.
i'm afraid that my fuchsia blanket project did not get much action and is still on the needles.
but look... doesn't it photograph well with the fuchsias of the bergenias???

reading:
i finished celeste ng's everything i never told you .
it is a beautiful story - delving into numerous issues among family members.
i was really impressed at how ng dealt with breakdowns in communicaton within a family and the difficulties that rise when parents project their own issues of lost potential upon their children.
it is definitely worth picking up!!!

now, i'm reading gillian flynn's gone girl
after mentioning that i enjoyed paula hawkin's the girl on the train so much, the librarian said that i might enjoy this too.  
i'm not that far into it yet...but so far, so good.
i'm also reading martin pistrorius' ghost boy.
i was returning books to the library and couldn't resist picking it up when i passed the fast read display
so far, it's turning out to be a really interesting autobiography so.... it will be my stationary bike book for the week.
what are you knitting? reading?
care to share?

  3. Gone Girl, looking forward to hearing what you think. And since you like Girl on the Train I just might have to see if I can get my hands on it.

  10. I love bergenias, we've got one in our garden and I'm hoping I can spread it around as it gets bigger. Your blanket is gorgeous, some lovely colours and textures
