It's just the finished pictures of Bug's blanket. I just "wing" all my blankets, so when I got done with what was supposed to be the center section, I changed my mind.
I ended up doing a shell pattern around the outside and I was going to add more to the ruffle, but she only wanted 3 rows of shells - it was still almost two skeins of yarn.
Here's the blanket:
And as for reading, I just finished:
It was a fun read about a girl's school in Victorian England that was training the girls to be independent thinkers, instead of just aiming for marriage or a life on the streets. The main character, Anna Quinn, had been at the school since she was 12. Now that she was 17, she was not happy as a junior teacher to the younger girls. She is inducted into the secret AGENCY where women are sent into roles that are virtually invisible like governess or companion to act as intelligence gatherers/spies for Scotland Yard, among others.
It was a fun book and there are supposed to be a couple more in the series. I'm going to check with my library to see if they have the other ones, yet.
