I have been knitting;
The first two strips of the experimental cardigan almost completely sewn together. Another three to do and I will have finished the back.
and sewing;
the next quilt-as-you-go is underway, and more prosaically the elastic in my pj's trousers has stopped being elastic. Still a bit of sewing to finish stitching up the waist band.
and continuing to binge read through the Dr Nell Ward thriller whodunnits. I'm on to book three; A Mischief of Rats. In about twenty minute's reading time I should have reached the bit where Nell's life is in danger - it's always just after three-quarters through the book!
Now, after a 'sitting down' day I need to do something about my woeful step count 🤔 before bedtime 🌙
I love all the stitch patterns in the knitting. Great idea there
ReplyDeleteThanks 😊 the pattern has you changing to a different colour for each patch, but I'm using variegated yarn and letting it do the work for me.
DeleteThey are fun books!
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your knitting are lovely. They make me smile!
These days I only buy yarn that makes me smile! (Which means I have boxes and baskets full of yarn that doesn't make me smile...)
DeleteYou're a fast knitter. A fast reader too I think.
ReplyDeleteBut my housekeeping is... well, I just... to be honest it doesn't... oh dear....!!!
DeleteI had a busy day yesterday, I have a very busy weekend ahead, so today will be deliberately slow. I think my newly unpacked summer pj's are wearing so thin they are beyond repair...
ReplyDeleteDoes making new pj's count as being busy? How long can you resist the lure or the sewing machine... a rummage through stash... a quick bit of snip snip sew....?!?!
DeleteI must look for those books - they sound fun.
ReplyDeleteYour cardigan will be a real Joseph's coat of many colours - it will be uplifting to wear, I think.
I do enjoy the books, but you need to read them in order; she cunningly leaves a cliffhanger at the end of each one!
DeleteDefinitely sort the elastic out!
ReplyDeleteIndeed yes!
