Alaskan Sweethearts

Alaskan Sweethearts by Janet Tronstad

         This book starts out slow, but the pace picks up, love the characters, and the story line (from Montana to Alaska). 

       The hero Hunter, is a lone cowboy with two brothers that were raised by his grandfather after the death of their parents. Now Colin (the Grandfather) wants to play match maker for Hunter. Colin spend his early years in Alaska working a gold mine. With the money he made, he purchased 80 areas in Montana, leaving the woman he loved behind to another.
       With all the schemes Colin does, Hunter is trying to save the heroine (Scarlett) from being cheated. But Scarlett is in no mind to listen to Hunter, she just wants the land the Colin is giving her and Hunter is afraid that it’s just another of his granddads crazy schemes.

       Colin, Scarlett and Hunter travel to Alaska, where Colin meets once again the love of his life. The action really picks up here. The ending of this story is great, but I am not telling you, you’ll have to read it yourself.

December 2012 Stitch of the Month Crochet

December 2012 Stitch of the Month Crochet

This is an easy and fun stitch to try.

Multiples of 6 chain plus 2.

For sample chain 20 (3 x 6 + 2 = 20)

Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, * ch 5, skip 5 ch, 1 sc in next ch, repeat form * across, ch 1, turn.

Row 2: 1 sc in first sc,* ch 5, 1 sc in next sc, repeat from *  across row,  ch 1, turn.

Repeat Row 2 until square or desired length.

These would make nice curtains if crocheted with a thinner yarn.  Or even place mats, and run ribbon thru the ladles.
