Watched Bohemian Rhapsody on my flight last Friday and knitted while I watched. The movie was ok, not bad but not as amazing as it had been talked up as being.
It was long enough that I made good progress on my Monarch butterfly colored scarf. :)
I am happy with the color and general randomness of the basket weave, I gave up on counting and just switch whenever it looks like it is the right number of rows. I hope to get a chance to finish it on Friday when I fly home.
This week I am in Chicago teaching a class and working too hard. Such is life in my business. 😁
I read a fun book on my flights yesterday. It is Putting the Fun in Funeral and by my friend Diana Pharoah Francis. She knits and geocaches and writes fun books with strong female characters who don't put up with anything from anyone.
The best way to describe the book is Urban Fantasy. Someone horrible is dead, her daughter suspected of the murder, and all the daughter wants to do is throw the tackiest funeral possible. Except then tall dark and handsome shows up to save her from something he can't tell her about. And it goes downhill from there.
I think one of her strongest writing skills is the witty banter her characters have. It isn't realistic or close to how any conversations I have ever had actually went, but it is fun to read. Very much like the characters were in a movie or tv show.
Happy needleworkmonday!
