Reading and crochet update. Here are my books and granny squares from January to May.
They need to be blocked, and then I'll start joining them all together.

pickThis is a really excellent craft book! Detailed written instructions and clear photographs explain English paper piecing very thoroughly. There are lots of project ideas, though only one is shown step-by-step (the pentagon ball)—it‘s pretty much obvious how to do the rest, since she gives clear instructions on joining shapes and doing appliqué. I can‘t wait to get started doing some English paper piecing.
pickThis book is exactly what it says it is: techniques, patterns, and samplers for blackwork embroidery. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t have any information about doing blackwork on clothing (as it historically was), which is what I really want to do. But I suppose I can practice on Aida and figure out the rest myself.
bailedThis book is gorgeous and informative, but it‘s too dang heavy and the font is really small and cramped. For a book that has so much emphasis on design, they really didn‘t design that aspect well.
I took am intro embroidery class this morning and I enjoyed it very much!
