On and Off The Needles
Around here at Moor View Cottage, I have been able to spend quite a bit of time on lots of handwork. It makes me happy to be able to sit, take some time out, and do these quiet things.
I am still busy on my scarf, it is growing slowly but surely. I do have to have a little concentration going on when I am working on this project so picking it up really means that I have to have a bit of space to concentrate on the pattern. No talking while I’m counting please! 🙂
When I’m in the mood for mindless non-thinking needlework, I have been working on a string of crochet bunting. This week I finished it up
Reading: I’ve picked up a Dick Francis novel. I used to devour them, then kind of went off them. This one I took out of the library for my daughter who is horse mad. Once she was done with it I found myself between books and so picked this one up. I’m quite enjoying it. Dick Francis sets his novels in England’s horse racing world. They are well written murder mysteries that draw you into the story from the get-go. Fabulous easy going reading 🙂
