I’m a little late to the party, but if you haven’t checked out the new site The AntiCraft, you might want to link on through to Curse Your Boyfriend. This is the perfect antidote to the knit boyfriend sweater = destined for a breakup urban legand. In my knitting news, I’m back to Annie’s Corset, and am up down to the waist shaping. I just started my third to last skein and am crossing my fingers that I’ll have enough.

Last night I was out at my book club’s revival meeting. The two other original members and I all brought 2-3 new women to the group, we dined on a lavish spread, drank plenty of wine and picked Graham Greene’s Travels With My Aunt for our December meeting. I seem to remember having read Graham Greene in high school, and am exited that we picked an author I’m not familiar with.

My primary recommendation last night was March: A Novel, by Geraldine Brooks. I think I may add it to my library list for the new year, after I finish up Crimson Petal and The White which stalled out on my nightstand when I picked up Freddy and Fredericka, by Mark Helprin, which had me laughing out loud in a public coffee shop.
