Do Library Cards Expire?

I used to go to the library every other week or so years ago and take out a couple of books to read.

Reading Material
After the last crappy book I read, I went to my small stack of remaining unread books that were purchased a while ago, and selected a PD James detective novel. The last one I read was interesting enough, so I figured this would be acceptable reading.

But I really am scraping the bottom of the barrel. I need to start going back to my library on a more regular basis and checking out books there, but it has just become so much more convenient to just order a stack of books through Amazon and work my way through them.

Current Knitting
I am racing through the beginnings of this new lace design, and enjoying both the process and the result.



The section of the lace I'm working on is actually a square piece, but I didn't have my pins to block it out a little for the picture (they were left with the last Ichida project). This section is almost complete, and will eventually form one half of the center section of the lace.

I'll post a scan of the schematic for the overall piece so it's easier to track where I am in the progress.

Finally
When Franklin was out visiting Carol, she had received a preview copy of her own book, so I guess the public arrival of the book is imminent.



No, Franklin is not looking at her chest...he's looking at her book, Knits So Fine. I did get a chance to browse through the book in between our incessant chatter, and I am now looking more forward to its release than I was when I first heard about it. Folks will be very pleased with this book.
