Duolingo

I have found a new website to add to my list of favourites ! Duolingo is a free language learning site for European languages. Excellent and well constructed site. I am learning Italian and am combining learning on Memrise and Duolingo which seems to be working well. I am finding Italian much easier to remember than Chinese with the exception of verb construction which I'm struggling with a bit. The audio testing on duolingo is a great feature and the constant practice and revision on both sites is great. A lot of sentence construction practice on duolingo too.

The debt and the doormat by Laura Barnard

A series of misadventures. I did laugh out loud in a couple of places and by the end I was engaged with the characters and wanted to read the next book.

 An inspiring book with great designs which can be adapted by experienced knitters to create their own combinations

 a picture in the book of the sampler my daughter and I decided to make jointly two years ago. We discovered our knitting gauges were rather different, mine being a looser knit so I took over the whole knit.

 Sea Wall ; ten squares knitted

 Cobbled stones: seven knitted, one more to knit

 Pebbledash; eight needed and completed

Fishing nets: two done, ten more to go

Ten different square designs, ninety- nine squares to complete plus a border, a long way to go.
Hopefully I will get knitting and progress this project . Updates will follow!!
