![]() ![]() ![]() This book seems like the intermediary between following patterns and completely creating your own designs. There are some additional patterns ("copy cats") in each chapter. There are also tips for several variations of ribbing, necklines, edgings, and waist shaping throughout the book. Each design includes guidelines for creating that style of sweater in child and adult sizes based on a stockinette gauge of 3-7 stitches/inch, and a cardigan variation. The designs included are Drop-Shoulder Sweaters, Modified Drop-Shoulder Sweaters, Set-In Sleeve Sweaters, Saddle-Shoulder Sweaters, Raglan Sweaters, and Seamless Yoke Sweaters. The subtitle of this book is "Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges." It's basically a sweater recipe book. Ann Budd's book provides a lot of background detail that would benefit a beginner to sweater making, whether you choose to follow one of the patterns or design your own sweater using the "formulas." This is my favorite beginner-friendly book to indoctrinate you into the sweater culture. Making sweaters seems to be a requisite part of the "being a knitter" package. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A professional ghost hunter who possesses his own tools-revolver, camera, elaborate electrical devices-he relies on them desperately, only half-believing in their efficacy. These stories improve in quality as the book progresses, beginning with the hackneyed gothic claptrap of "The Thing Invisible" and ending with stories of true cosmic terror.Ĭarnacki himself is an interesting transitional figure, an eccentric bachelor in the Holmesian mode, who-although relying on his intellect and expertise-yet seems, at bottom, lonely and filled with self-doubt in the wake of his uncanny experiences. Not as good as his House on the Borderlands, but enjoyable and worthwhile nonetheless. ![]() ![]() ![]() But Louise can't guess how wrong-and how far a person might go to protect their marriage's secrets.

There is certainly another train of thought that thé kánnain his followed name doesn'capital t refer to the Hindu Lord, but to JaIagandapuram Kannan, his mentor. ![]() He renamed himseIf as Kannadasan, indicating the servant of God Sri Krishna (ln Tamil Kannan means Krishna and in Sanskrit, dasameans sérvant), as hé experienced become a VaishnavaHindu. After a great deal of introspection, he made a decision to convert back to Sanatana Dhárma. He go through the Thiruppavai óf Andal, and has been surprised at its mystic poems, which had been to have a strong and lasting effect on him.

But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something they’re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination. To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years. Stella lives in the segregated South-in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it. ![]() When the Ku Klux Klan makes an unwelcome reappearance in Stella’s segregated southern town, bravery battles prejudice in this Depression-era tour de force from Sharon Draper, the New York Times bestselling author of Out of My Mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Similar to "The Raven," this song shares a lot of lyrics with Poe's short story. Definitely the best track of the album and an essential to any Halloween party playlist. Like a rock opera, there's wailing guitars, chanting that makes you want to pump your fist in the air, melodious ethereal vocals and Edgar Allan Poe. Then it drops into a more stereo, catchy song at "to my amazement/there stood a raven" and goes from there. The song begins with a robot voice introducing not the poem's "Once upon a midnight dreary." but "The clock struck midnight"-pretty close in content. My 9 year old ears perked up: "What is that?" My dad somehow was playing this on our way home-maybe on a CD or via the most obscure radio station, I'm unsure. ![]() This is my introduction to Edgar Allan Poe and subsequently, horror as a genre. One of my all time favorite songs, maybe technically a guilty pleasure. ![]() The tone is dramatic, sure, but the hopelessness of the poem is lost in the funky bass line leading up to I honestly would've never pinned this work (favorite line: "O God! Can I not save/ one from the pitiless wave?/ Is all that we see or seem/ But a dream within a dream?") to this song. My favorite poem of Poe's is now translated into a funkier, groovier rendition. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2003, while studying at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, he met Martin Doherty, who asked my guest to produce a record for his band.

Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp-and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Turns out America's "Cooking Sweetheart" is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show-sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac-a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. ![]() ![]() Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival-and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar. ![]() |
