International Women's Day 2012

It's that time of year again, a day of the year that Women are celebrated for being -well just a woman :). This year the theme that has been circulating is the combination of Women and Crafts and one craft in particular has been Knitting. I have to admit for myself personally , I cannot knit , I have tried but just couldn't get my fingers around it. I don't have the co-ordination yet I can cross-stitch which my Aunty Helen taught me when I was about 10-13 years old, she bought me my first cross-stitch set from Spotlight in Wellington . It was a picture of a yellow duck, I spent my whole night and day with it and was so proud of myself when I finished it. Though, Knitting does run in my family as My Nana -Olive Hague is a Knitter , My Aunty Maureen Greaves is a Knitter and of course my Mum Lee Phillips are all proud Knitters. From Jerseys to Slippers to Blankets and Scarves. One of my best friends Deb Hart and her daughter Sophie are also amazing knitters and Sophie though technically she is only a tween is an amazing knitter as her schooling have taught her to Knit which is an amazing skill to learn as it is surprising that many of today's and mine generation included do not know how to knit at all. We are the generation of books , computers and modern technology like Computers, Laptops, Ipads, Ipods and Xboxes/Wii/Playstations.

To help Celebrate with the theme of Knitting = Power , I have arranged a few of my favourite Knitting Books and Knitting Theme Books that all must check out :)

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
