J2 brought this book "Truckers" home from the school library and its ages since I read it, so while she's been doing her piano practice I've been having a good giggle reading it. Terry Pratchett is such a good writer, I could read his shopping list and enjoy it.This fantasy tale of 4" high creatures called nomes who are nigh on invisible to the naked eye because they move so fast are trapped on our planet and many of them live in a dept store ( Arnold Bros, est 1905) which is due for demolition. The nomes have to face up to this and escape and they do this by stealing a truck.
Some of the Ravellers on the Ankh-Morpork knitting guild joined together to make Terry his own afghan celebrating all aspects of Discworld. I've signed up today to make my own blanket in a knit-along ( the first I've committed to).*
We have to read the books in order, 1 each month, starting with "The Colour of Magic" and knit a 8"x8" square for each book and in about 3 years time I'll have a fabby blanket (which J1 will probably half-inch before he goes off to uni or whatever).
The question is, can I limit myself to one book per month?
Probably not!
* many thanks to Spinningerin for highlighting this on Faery Knitting, as I hadn't noticed it while I was meandering around Ravelry.
