The final clue for Kirsten Kapur’s Mystery socks is out today, however, as you can see – I am not even half way done with clue three.
Somewhere over the past couple of weeks my knitting mojo has up and left – I am just not feeling the knitting love right now. I know, it is a troubling thing! Perhaps today’s weather can help me get back on track – it is a windy, rainy, blustery day here – so maybe I can get these socks back on track today.
I am happy to say the that my reading has not done the same though. I started reading Fredrik Backman’s latest little book – And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer and Longer. It should be a quick read and perhaps I can even have it finished today!
In my ears I am listening to Orwell’s 1984…I somehow did not read this in high school, although I read Animal Farm. I just started yesterday and so far, I am enjoying it!
Joining Ginny’s Yarn Along, where there is lots of knitting and reading going on!
A sock this lovely deserves the time to get it just right. Slow and steady wins the (sock) race, and they’ll be beautiful when you’re done!
My sock mojo took off for nearly 4 years! It returned this year when my sock drawer was showing major signs of depletion. May your mojo return shortly!
I predict you’ll be back on track with those socks in no time. 1984. Scary stuff.
I’m curious what your experience of “1984” is like given the current climate. I haven’t read it in years and years, but I think a reread might be in order (same goes for “The Handmaid’s Tale”).
I’m sure your mojo will be back in no time. and I highly recommend Claire Danes’ narration of The Handmaid’s Tale if you find yourself wanting to extend the dystopian (not-so-much) mood. or E.B.White’s essays if you’re ready for something different (I chose that latter path).
Sometimes a little time away is just what you need! The Handmaidens Tale has stuck with me for 20+ years! I may have to look into 1984 as I haven’t read it either. Your bluster has arrived in MA!
I read 1984 in 1975. It was chilling then . . . so I think I’ll just let it be for the time being. (I do still shudder whenever I think of the Handmaiden’s Tale. Won’t be giving that a re-read any time soon, either.) 🙂 I love your socks — the color is wonderful. You’ll finish when the mood strikes (again), I’m certain.
Oh I hope the knitting bug bites you and you resume your sock knitting with wild abandon 🙂 However, your stitching on instagram is beautiful and maybe that is where you are at in your creativity.
