I made some progress with Ella this week using Trendsetter Venus.  Still love both the yarn and the pattern.  This week I plan to get back to the Mitered Throw and put down Ella for a rest.  I have been working on the throw, but it went from completing 1 to 2 squares a night to doing 1 to 2 squares a week.

I received Prudence Mapstone’s new book this week from my girlfriend Karen, who is featured in the book.  “Coat of Many Scrumbles” is an amazing collaboration, but it is not an instructional book on Freeform.  If you are purchasing it looking for instructions, it might be better if you purchase one of Prudence’s other great freeform books.  This book is about a  large freeform coat that Prudence put together from the many scrumbles she received from people all over the world.  Some of the individuals that send the scrumbles are in the book, with a comment from them and a photo of the scrumbles they submitted.

I updated the house renovation photo album last night:

 I tried to match the old photos next to the new photos in the album, but it made me dizzy and I gave it up.  I threw most of the new pictures on new pages in the album.  All of the new photos are labeled “71407″.  The house is still at least 3 weeks from being finished, but I heard from the contractor a month ago that it was 3 weeks to completion, so who knows.
