Seems that blue is my colour lately, I find myself drawn to it. I remembered that I had purchased a few skeins of yarn last year with a bit of birthday money for the specific purpose of making a
September Pillow from Quince & Co. For those who are bothered by multiple unfinished projects, may I quietly suggest that you cover your eyes and perhaps go and read something else. . I suspect that those of you who do read may have figured out by now that I am a serial starter. I love the process, most of the time more than the actual finished project. Though humbly, the stuff I make is awesome so I like the finished stuff too. I do finish things, but given that I like large projects, and need lots of different bits and bobs happening at the same time, the WIP pile is a constant source of delight. When I rediscover a project, I find that my taste really hasn’t changed all that much from when I began whatever it was and I happily pick it up again like it was yesterday. It’s just like how the very best friendships feel. Also, John is a saint who has gotten very used to the various random piles of fabric, yarn and needles all over the house, so it’s all good. I just need a few extra hours each day to stitch and knit and sew ALL of the things. Since it’s Thanksgiving this weekend, I will be thankful for my healthy family, and the knowledge to cast on a bit of blue yarn and somehow turn it into a pillow. Eventually.
Oh, and I also read books the same way – in multiples. I started this one in March and misplaced it. I found it yesterday so have picked it back up again. I think I was 15 the last time I read two Stephen King novels in the same year let alone at the same time. 11/22/63 is a terrific book and I’m really enjoying it, as is John. Mr. Mercedes is much more typically gruesome King and as always – a good yarn. My audiobook at the moment is Diana Gabaldon’s “Written in my Own Heart’s Blood”. Has that woman ever written a short novel?
Happy Wednesday to you!
Joining with Ginny
I can’t wait to read the new Gabaldon! That yarn is beautiful. And, I never read King…I get way to scared way to easily.
Oh, I read and knit the same way. It makes me feel better to read that someone else does too.
Ahhh more we have in common: I have multiple stitching projects and multiple books that I am reading! Also, the blue yarn in the photo above reminds me of the bulky blue wool merino I am using to knit a blanket. This morning I started reading “Every Little Thing: Making a World of Difference Right Where You Are” but I haven’t stitched anything yet today
Wishing a Happy Day to you, Caroline. xx
You do love your Q&Co yarns. The blue is gorgeous! Love it!
Saint John loves his sweater which you did eventually finish!!
It’s almost time for you to start wearing it again
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
That blue is so lovely.
