I’m still feeling “under the weather” so I went shopping in my yarn stash and I found a skein of Peruvia Quick and Thick n’ Thin both by Berroco and a pattern on the Berroco site for the Seyfert Cowl and it was free! I learned a new stitch, which is fun. Purl 2tog and then purl the first stitch again. It gives it some character for sure.
It’s super quick. So I’ll have the finished project before the day is over.
I wish I could share the silky softness.
Such a quick knit! So beautiful, I can’t wait to wear it.
There’s a baby growing in my circle of friends. I’m feeling under the weather today, what a better way to cheer myself up then to start and finish a baby knit. This little cotton hat pattern is from “Last-minute knitted gifts” by Joelle Hoverson. This is my go-to book of classic patterns. Whenever I’m at a loss about what to knit I find the perfect pattern.
I decided to shop in my own stash and found this pretty peach color alpaca/silk blend. The pattern is from one of my favourite books,”Last-minute knitted gifts” by Joelle Hoverson.
What remains to be seen
He’s painting like a writer writes.
In layers of colour.
Like similes and metaphors.
Transforming meaning with each stroke.
Mixing words into truths.
The colours bleed through.
Another word scratched into place.
Leaving a telltale scar we can trace.
Then a knowing starts to appear before your eyes.
Like words removing their disguise,
A form takes shape,
Demanding to be seen.
But what lies beneath?
Remains to be seen.

That was quick!!!
I’m having a lazy Sunday Tea Party for one. I’m knitting with super chunky 100%Wool from The Brown Sheep company and 15 mm needles. I’ll be done in no time!
This story is about a quirky family, told from different members’ viewpoints through the recall of memories. Like we all do when families get together. The telling and re telling of family folklore has always been a tradition in my family so I appreciated this style of writing. A house plays a prominent role in this story also. Houses don’t make a home, families do but it provides an interesting landscape. I felt like I needed to re read this novel after I read the last page. The undercurrents of meaning drifting in and out of the different stories connects them. I’m afraid I might have missed something. The author uses innuendo and suggestion to tell this brilliant story. I like working my mind a little when I read it helps keep me engaged and in the world the author has created instead of my own. Easier to escape that way:)
