<\/a>I’m still reading and knitting the same things I was two weeks ago<\/a>, although I’m further along with all of them.<\/p>\n

Here’s my \u00c3\u2030clair Shawl:<\/p>\n

\"\u00c3\u2030clair<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

(Did you know, by the way, that \u00c3\u00a9clair is the French word for lightning and that the pastry is so named because the filling resembles it when piped in?)<\/p>\n

I’m working the second panel of six or seven, now. It’s slow going, but isn’t too difficult, except for making sure that I don’t shortchange myself rows.<\/p>\n

I’m still reading Just One Day<\/em> and A Monstrous Regiment of Women<\/em>, although I’m now 2\/3 and 1\/3 through them, respectively. I’m enjoying both books, although they share little in common thus far, except maybe a desire for self-determination on the part of the main characters. I’m also listening to Penny Marshall read her memoir, My Mother Was Nuts<\/em>. The beginning was a little confusing, but became less so when I took my iPod off of its shuffle songs setting. I was having such a hard time understanding why her friend was doing heroin in middle school… When listened to in correct chapter order, the narrative is laugh-out-loud funny, and Marshall’s delivery is done in her trademark deadpan. The book needed a stronger editor (there’s a lot of unnecessary repetition), but so far that’s my only complaint.<\/p>\n

Now that I’m not watching hours of Tour coverage every night, I expect my reading will pick back up again.<\/p>\n
