Yarn Along

Reading
54
Reading has been slow around here. I have a few migraines which stops me reading (knitting or watching TV), completely. I am still reading THE BOOK OF MORMON, and this is another book I am still reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Here is the official description from Amazon
" The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon — when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach — an "outlander" — in a Scotland torn by war and raiding Highland clans in the year of Our Lord ... 1743.

Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigues and dangers that may threaten her life ... and shatter her heart. For here she meets James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, and becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire ... and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives." 
I have enjoyed this book so far, and I even have book two 'Dragonfly In Amber' waiting on the bookshelf, should I ever manage to finish book one.
Knitting
The prayer shawl from last week has not really been worked on much (unfortunately), because I have been making granny squares instead.

I am still hoping to make the cardigan/coat I mentioned a few POSTS AGO. I asked on Facebook about the ease/difficulty of making a granny square coat and got a few helpful links. So here they are for anyone interested.
Hopefully I will have something resembling a cardigan to show next week.
