unexpectedly interesting!

 Are there as many unique birds in the world as there are places to travel or learn about? I am really starting to think so. From my last post I told you to look for this posting about a strange bird..

Here is it. The Kakapo!! You may not know, this bird is endangered..According to my findings, there are less than 100 left. He lives in New Zealand. But, There are reproductive programs going on right now.  This bird is in the parrot family. listen

This parrot is nocturnal. He is a good sized bird, up to 9 pounds and he doesn't fly. Below are 2 links about the Kakapo. I never realized that birds are so fun to learn about. Each day this summer we are going to be reading about birds.

We hope to find some, that we haven't seen before, in view too.

Happy endings- and the last stitches of almost 6 skeins!

After two great books.. I am about to bind off my latest knitting project..
I try to knit and read at the same time.. but, the excitment of the books was like
chewing gum slowly and not being able to move my eyes off the page...

The books were the sequels to Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath... by the way, look what I got for my birthday..

how'd they know??  At the end of the triology.. I was relieved.. I could breath again.. my heart was glad to find that Fenoglio was back in charge of the stories.. Maggie found she has a brother.. Dustfinger

makes it through.. Resa has found her voice- .Farid follows his heart .. And very happy news, Roxanne is no longer grieving..and

Gwin has a new friend, called Jink..oh, you'll just have to read to get to know these, my favorite

characters- that I know so well... I learned about a bird at the
end, I was so interested in this bird, I looked it up here....

Which reminds me to tell you about another very interesting  bird I recently read about - that will be in a post to look forward to...stay tuned..

So, what will take the place of these great stories
you might ask..

here are
my next 3 coming 
from the library...

soft as moss!

Here is what I am working on this week...

It's a new change, seems that lately I have been 

working with size 2 for much smaller projects.

It will be so comfy~

I love the earth-tones...

So soft, and fun to knit up!

The yarn's name is edgewater.. I can see it...

Look for pictures of the finished

project in a couple of days.
