Book excerpt: The only man that Melany Starks ever loved was dying-quickly he was disintegrating before her eyes. Why did she care? He ignored her and watched from among the shadows while she crumbled under the stress and strain of loving only him. He stood by as a spectator while she held on with dear life to what was left of their family long after he walked out in a dramatic and twisted turn of events. It was neither he nor his love that saved her; though it was he and his deceit that pushed her to rock-bottom. Jalen and Melany Starks lived a fairytale life, in the eyes of many. Alas, secrets lurked behind the doors of their mansion, and sick skeletons lived in the closets of his unlikely partners in infidelity. As each part of Jalen's front falls to pieces, so does Melany's life and her ability to cope. Nevertheless, the darkest part of the night is just before the break of day. Only after seeking God does she manage to renew her life and the lives of every one affected by the life and death of Jalen Starks.

Download or read book The Perfect Fit for Knitting Totally Modern Patterning for Designer Essential Techniques written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction It’s all in the details! The use of what designers call fully fashioned shaping marks the difference between an ordinary ho-hum sweater and an undeniably spectacular fashion garment. Using mirrored increases and decreases—slanting certain stitches toward the left or the right to create design details can easily give a garment a couture touch. It is the construction difference between an $80 J.Crew cashmere V-neck sweater and the one that sells for $200 in the same catalog. Though both are knitted out of the same soft yarn, the less expensive sweater is usually made by assembling front, back, or sleeve pieces cut from huge bolts of machine-knit fabric and then sewn with a serger, while the more expensive sweater is created with hand-manipulated, machine-made knitting stitches. Many handknitters already use shaping details in their garments: decreases for armholes, necklines, or sleeve caps and increases for sleeves. We don’t cut our pieces into shape, we knit them into shape! But most knitters do not understand how shaping works or how to use simple increases and decreases to add visual interest to their garments. I’ve taught these techniques to hundreds of knitters, and during my workshop they begin to look at their knitting in a whole new way. I still remember that exciting aha! moment when a student in one of my classes worked her first fully fashioned V neckline a few years ago. “It’s so neat and perfect,” she proudly proclaimed. In these pages we will explore simple fully fashioned techniques and how to apply them to create interesting designer elements and flattering shaping details in garments for any body shape. You will learn that just adding a few extra details can take any project to an entirely new level of sophistication. Chapter 1 of this book is a refresher course on all the basics any knitter will need to master, from different increase and decrease methods, to Knitting Charts 101, and the dos and don’ts of figure flattery. Chapter 2 illustrates simple ways to incorporate fully fashioned shaping in stockinette garments. Included are four wearable—and knittable!—projects to get your needles clicking as you practice these basic shaping techniques. Chapter 3 provides ways of using fully fashioned shaping for designer details such as decorative raglan seams and figure-flattering vertical lines. Many of the projects include incorporated neckbands and armbands to make the finishing of the garment faster and easier. Chapter 4 delves into exciting ways to use strategically placed increases and decreases to create figure-flattering sweaters. Some of the projects in this section even use fully fashioned details to fool the eye and create the illusion of shape: You don’t have to have a perfect hourglass shape to look great! Throughout the book, you’ll discover little body shape icons that will direct you to garments that are specifically designed for your individual figure type. Diagonal lines will draw attention to certain sections of the garment—and of your body. If you’re going to take the time—and spend the money—to make custom garments, you might as well knit flattering ones! You’ll have fun experimenting with fully fashioned designer details—and using your knitting prowess to create knockout pieces that fit and flatter. Let’s get started.…
Download or read book The Perfect Scout written by George W. Quimby and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare and dramatic first-person account by a Union scout who served General William Tecumseh Sherman on his “march to the sea” After his father-in-law passed away, Stephen Murphy found, among the voluminous papers left behind, an ancestral memoir. Murphy quickly became fascinated with the recollections of George W. Quimby (1842–1926), a Union soldier and scout for General William Tecumseh Sherman. Before Quimby became a part of Sherman’s March, he was held captive by Nathan Bedford Forrest’s troops in western Tennessee. He joined Sherman’s Army in Vicksburg, destroying railroads and bridges across Mississippi and Alabama on the way to Georgia. As the notorious march began, Quimby became a scout and no longer experienced war as his fellow soldiers did. Scouts moved ahead of the troops to anticipate opportunities and dangers. The rank and file were instructed to be seen and feared, while scouts were required to be invisible and stealthy. This memoir offers the rare perspective of a Union soldier who ventured into Confederate territory and sent intelligence to Sherman. Written around 1901 in the wake of the Spanish American War, Quimby’s memoir shows no desire to settle old scores. He’s a natural storyteller, keeping his audience’s attention with tales of drunken frolics and narrow escapes, providing a memoir that reads more like an adventure novel. He gives a new twist to the familiar stories of Sherman’s March, reminding readers that while the Union soldiers faced few full-scale battles, the campaign was still quite dangerous. More than a chronicle of day-to-day battles and marches, The Perfect Scout is more episodic and includes such additional elements as the story of how he met his wife and close encounters with the enemy. Offering a full picture of the war, Quimby writes not only about his adventures as one of Sherman’s scouts, but also about the suffering of the civilians caught in the war. He provides personal insight into some of the war’s historic events and paints a vivid picture of the devastation wreaked upon the South that includes destroyed crops and homes and a shattered economy. He also tells of the many acts of kindness he received from Southerners, including women and African Americans, who helped him and his fellow scouts by providing food, shelter, or information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “So you’re asking if divorce is possible?” Wellington asked. “Yes, but one question first,” Bunky said. “Does Catherine love me? She says she does, but I don’t know. Can a narcissist actually love someone?” Dr. Wellington smiled ruefully. “Of course she can. She’s been deeply in love for a long time… with herself. As for you, I’m sorry, but what she feels for you isn’t love in the normal sense. You do a good job of enabling her, and I’m sure she likes that. I’m sure she likes the lifestyle you provide, too. Those ‘likes’ mimic love, but don’t ever cross her. I’m not sure those ‘likes’ will hold up.” “Don’t cross her?” Bunky smiled. “I can’t think of a more serious way to cross her than to divorce her. I mean, once I file, what’s to keep her devils from busting loose? Hell, she came at me with a knife for backing out of the kitchen. What happens when I back out of a marriage?” “It won’t be easy,” Wellington said, “but if it was just you, it would be doable.” “But it isn’t just me, is it,” Bunky said sadly. “No it’s not. You’ll be the primary bad guy, but she’s likely to come after that child hard. What better way to hurt you than to hurt the baby? If you’re going to start this thing, Bunky, you have to keep close guard over that little one. There’s no telling what Catherine is capable of…”

But Joanna is young and lost, unable to accept her abilities as virtues or fully trust Carrington's intentions.

The skill level is basic, and there’s a complete sewing primer included, with recommendations for basic tools, step-by-step instruction, a guide to fabrics, and a sizing reference chart.
