Happy Friday!
Yes, February is moving on… rather rapidly! (too rapidly?) I am thinking that our little run of gloriously sunny days might be the reason why… because the normal sunless winter we usually get… well, those days just seem to drag, don’t they?
But this week was for learning… and learn I did! So let’s get started!
I had no clue that I really needed a Fast Car duet coupled with a rousing rendition of Both Sides Now… every. single. day. The most delicious ear worms. Who knew that songs from what feels like a lifetime ago, suddenly have new life in my head!
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Foyle’s War… I needed a Seaming Companion this week and Christopher Foyle and dear Sam were just the ticket! Two episodes “done” and I have just two seams to go on my sweater! The seaming will end soon (today maybe) but I think that I will be spending a bit more time with the Foyle Crew!
And speaking of seaming… I had forgotten how magical mattress stitching is! Although sleeve caps remain one heck of a challenge! They are the Main Culprit for my Seaming Angst. But down the “straightaway” … well, it might be the most fun of knitting!
In the ongoing search for “Horse Books” for Genevieve, I discovered Elaine Heney! (and there are LOTS of books by her to grow Vivi’s library!)
And there you have the things I learned this week… Happy Friday, Everyone! See you all back here on Monday!
Sure sounds like it’s been a good week for you Kat. I’m excited to see your finished sweater. Today seems to be a little on the overcast side, but I still plan to get out (rather soon) to walk a bit. It’s already 40 outside. And you are right, February seems to be flying by (except when work drags for moi).
we loved foyle’s war immensely!! Great company. I think our sunny days are a bit over for now, it was glorious while it lasted!!
I have also had Fast Car and Both Sides Now in my ears and on my mind this week. I’m glad to hear that seaming is going well, and it’s always a treat to discover the right books for a special person. I have been grateful for this past week of sunshine and warmer temps. I may even hang my sheets and towels out today!
These days of sun have really been a treat. I know more wintry weather is in the forecast for next week, but more sun and milder days aren’t that far off!
Thank you for reminding me about Foyle’s War. Such a great series!
Happy Friday to you too. Foyle’s War is a good series. Maybe we can go back and watch parts of it again. Sunshine on our shoulders does make for lighter spirits. Mattress Stitch is a little magical – except in those sleeve caps.
Have a great weekend.
I don’t enjoy seaming but must agree that mattress stitch is a little miracle! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Every single time I listen to Joni singing Both Sides Now at the Grammys . . . I cry. Every time. And mattress stitching cap sleeves is just . . . hellish.
