November almost here

Hi
well this month has just sped by.I have not gotten many of my knitting projects finished.  I ended up ripping out the whole "Trail Jacket" by Hannah Fetig.The buttonholes just looked terrible.  I need some help with them .  I have been knitting long enough that I should have these techniques down so I am going to try again.  The vest by Hannah Fetig in Quince &Co. Sparrow linen yarn has been coming along since it is the only thing I have been working on.  I will show a picture of all the scarves I made this summer using String Theory sock yarn or Madeline Tosh sock yarn.  I wanted simple knitting this summer and fall when I was "back east"as they say in Arizona .

I have also been doing some reading .I thought "The Burgess Boys" by Elizabeth Strout was wonderful.  One of the best books I have read in a long time.I have read 4or 5 other books but I am only going to mention 2 here.  First is'& Sons " by David Young.  It has gotten a lot of good reviews.  But I will tell you it is TERRIBLE. I got about 200 hundred pages in out of a 400 or so page book and the author revealed something about the youngest son that is just so ridiculous I closed the book and took it back to the library.  The next book is "Enon" by Paul Harding again awful.  I have found I like woman authors so much better than men.  I go to male authors with hope but except for a few they always disappoint me. I am looking forward to reading Wally Lamb and I usually like Stewart O'nan and a few others but otherwise I just don't like the way they write fiction.All books available at Amazon.com..
