Quality yarn = quality products
Super soft, I crocheted a sock monkey for 1 y.o. grandson. Tangle free. Easy to use, stays on hook, where its supposed to. Nice color.

Visions in water
Smoke on the Water is #3 in the Sisters of the Craft Series by Lori Handeland. Its very detailed as it goes into Willow's story. She's had a hard life, an orphan, a number of foster homes and ends up in a mental hospital.
She figures out, that she's not crazy, she's just Gifted--she can see future events in water--any water, from tiny droplets on a window to bathtubs full. All of her life, no one has appreciated her abilities.
Willow meets the man she has been "seeing" in her visions for most her life, Sebastian Fraiser. He is also her psychiatrist. At first, he thinks she's probably crazy. Then things start to happen.....
She finds out that she's Not an orphan, she is one of a set of triplet girls. All three of them have awesome powers.
Their parents are with them, father is a ghost & mother has is in wolf form. The whole family lived 400 years ago, mother & father were burned-branded & their family destroyed, by Roland an embittered man who thinks that the girls' mother Pru killed his wife & unborn child on purpose.
This is a really good story. It brings all three girls together, with their stories and their lives and has a great finale.

A good Christian book
A quick read (for me). A nice, historical Christian novel about a young couple-Emmalyne and Tavin who are betrothed, but a horrible tragedy strikes and Emmalyne's two younger sisters are killed in a tornado. Emmalyne's father breaks the betrothal, because it is a family tradition for the youngest daughter to sacrifice her own life to take care of her parents in their old age.
Emmalyne and Tavin are devastated. Tavin doesn't understand why Emmalyne won't go against her father (who is a very hard man) and elope with him anyway. He goes away mad, Emmalyne stays with her parents & younger brother and takes care of them all. They are separated for 11.5 years (or so), until Tavin is summoned home by his parents.
Emmalyne discovers the reasons that her father is so harsh & her mother starts to take more of an interest in life. She is mentored by their pastor, and finds that perhaps she has been praying for the wrong reasons. She begins to pray more for her father & asking God to let her learn to love her father and show him that she does indeed love him.
Her father begins to soften and Emmalyne and Tavin's lives begin to change because of it.
I will definitely read again and again.
