In honor of book-finishing...

Well, somewhere in the middle of finishing up my assignments I also managed to finish Chicks With Sticks (It's a Purl Thing) by Elizabeth Lehnard. I'm a knitter myself, so liking this book was a given for me. I was linked to this quiz through Lehnard's website, and I couldn't resist...







Which Chick Are You?




You are AMANDA. On the surface, you've got the bright and shiny life we all want. You're rich, gorgeous and your Am Ex will buy you the designer clothes of your dreams. Being the popular party girl comes easily to you. It's getting close to friends (or boyfriends) that's a challenge. Maybe if you unloaded that big secret of yours, you'd feel less need to keep folks at arms length. In your Kate Spade knitting tote is all the fuzzy, novelty yarn you can carry.
Take this quiz!

At first when I took this quiz I was inclined to disagree. I thought I was definitely more of a Scottie than an Amanda, but I have a bit of a soft spot for Amanda's difficulties, and the free-forming stuff? I want to figure that out.

This was a great read, especially to use as my reward system for Middlemarch (I read two chapters of George Eliot, I got one section of the Chicks), and it's really sparked a lot of yarn-envy in me in the process. The girls figured out knitting a lot faster than I ever did, but it's fun watching them grow together through learning the craft.

Now I'm off to watch Jericho!

Yeah, it was a fun read, and you definitely don't need to be a knitter to enjoy it or relate to it. :)
