“Escapism is survival to me. – Johnny Depp
Yes. Yes, it is. And, in these trying days – it is one thing that is helping keep my sanity (even if it is just hanging on by a thread)
Knitting on Rock the Lobster has resumed – I am into sleeve two decreases and it is moving along nicely. Escapism knitting FTW!
In the mindless – meditative knitting category – Deep Sea Jelly Fish Cowl is moving slightly less quickly. Meditation these days is a challenge – it is strangely easier to forget if I am focused on the pattern and counting. But those colors…
Reading is the best form of escapism that I know and I am about half way through The Secret History and while I am not certain this is the best escape – it is so well written and I really am loving this book. I have a list of things on hold at the library and I am in the ‘what if they all are available at the same time’ phase. Yeah, I hate when that happens!
That is all I have today – I am off to my little escapist world. Have a good Wednesday everyone!
Joining Ginny with her Yarn Along this week!
Your sweater is almost done!! It will be awesome. And the colors in your cowl are so bright and cheerful. Happy escapism!!
I think that photo of your gorgeous Honey Cowl and Miss Babs yarn in a bucket may be the best thing I see today! I know you have a pile of books queued but if you run out, I would recommend News of the World as great escape reading. A wonderful story, beautifully written, and completely immersive for me. Wishing you a good Wednesday!
I agree! What a gorgeous photo and such pretty yarn!
As always, beautiful photos! Your Rock will turn out stunning, I can already see it from the details photo!
Escapism sounds good to me. What pretty yarn you are using. I’m sure the books will sort themselves out into an orderly queue for you. Well, fingers crossed.
Books are a great place to escape to, even though a couple of my books are dark. Books take me away. Knitting is also a nice way to step out of my head as I am usually with like minded friends! Knit on! Read on!
Escaping into books is working for me these days, too!
Your sweater looks beautiful! I just picked up a library copy of No Idle Hands — looking forward to escaping into my knittting and also into reading about knitting!
Loooove those colors in your sweater! Escaping into a world of knitting sounds like a good plan to me just about now…
Soon, I plan to do a lot escaping…love the photo at top of the post…yarn’s colors are great! Escape on!
Cheers~
I’m looking forward to escaping with my yarn and a book today. It’s good for the soul. and the mind. and it’s nice when we get a new sweater, too!
Books and knitting are helping me get through the days, that’s for sure! Do check out Bonny’s suggestion of News of the World. Just a delightful read all around — and perfect for right now. XO
Your cowl makes me so happy!
Absolutely gorgeous photos. I love the colors.
