I call this a shell stitch. A very easy stitch for just about everything.

This is the last 9 weeks for the challenge. Eight more blocks and the edging. The downside of the as-you-go attaching of the blocks is that I don't get the chance to block the square before attaching. Well, I guess I could block then crochet the attach row. Next time.

What I am Reading

Lord of the Flies. by William Golding so far is an interesting study on human nature set on an island and the survivors are very young to adolescent boys. There are those who are interested in playing and those who are interested in rescue, which results in a power struggle. There are still a few more chapters to read and struggle has hit a turning point. I'll have more next week.

This week's quote from Lord of the Flies is from third chapter: "He wanted to explain how people were never quite what you thought they were".

Other Stuff

This has been a busy time. The grandson has been spending a lot of time at our house every weekend after his Little League games. He likes the trail that goes past our house and the fact that he can ride a bike without worrying about getting run over by a car; he likes Truvy and she likes him (Truvy likes children and old people. She turns into a completely different dog--still sweet, but less rambunctious.); and I think he just likes hanging out with us old folks especially when a trip to Dairy Queen is involved.

Have a good week!
