baby blanket

I'm still working on the baby blanket for Project Linus. I am really liking the pretty colour changes of this yarn. I'd like to knit something else with it, maybe a baby cardigan. 

Did I mention that, wonder of wonders, I actually learned to crochet recently? My WI friend D taught me, she is very patient! I crocheted a granny square with a frilly edge to it that I can stand the teapot on, it goes nicely in a kitsch kind of way with the tea cosy I knitted. Now I need a crochet project so I don't forget how to do it. I don't want to spend much money on yarn though, so that's on hold for the moment. I have lots of balls/part balls of cotton, maybe I will crochet some dishcloths. Or this fabulous bath mat .

I finished the Girl who Fell to Earth and quite liked it in the end. Now I am reading The Dinner by Herman Koch. It took me a while to get into it, the whole book takes place during one dinner in a restaurant which was strange at first but now I think it works well. There are two couples at the meal and the story revolves around something terrible their sons have done. I am finding it a really good read and not wanting to put it down.
