Easy Peasy?

Right?  Wrong! LOL!  I'm doing this simple little scarf where you knit half of it one direction and then change direction to knit the second part.  Well, I have this talent of messing up many of the things I'm knitting - sometimes when I'm on the very last row - arghhh!  This one, I had the first half done, went to do the second half, set it down for a moment - and well, yep, you know the rest! So it all got taken apart and I started over! I'm now on the second half and this time - success!!  The pattern is called "Easy" and is on Ravelry....

I've just started this book.  The Mapmaker's Children.

 It sounded really good to me - goes back and forth in time - from Sarah Brown (John Brown's daughter) - who painted pictures with maps - to help slaves escape...  and a modern day woman who moves into a house and finds a doll head - that starts her on a journey back to Sarah Brown...
