Socks

I finally knit a pair of socks. I’m pretty pleased with myself. This is definitely not the only pair I will ever make.

 I found the process much easier than I expected. 

I have cut some 2 1/4 inch strips for the binding on Having a Ball. Now they need to be sized lengthwise and sewn together.

 For some reason I’m procrastinating with this. I don't know why sewing together a bunch of strips seems daunting right not, but it does.

Cinnamon House is back in the craft rotation again full time. 

I want to finish this before starting another cross-stitch piece. 

I need to get back to quilting the I-Spy quilt also. I have it about 1/4 quilted. A project for the coming week. 

I finished reading The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel. I have liked other books by this author, but this one I found to be a less interesting. I also tried to read The Keeper of Lost Art by Laura Morelli, but I felt the story was slow and mostly uninteresting. I stopped reading it when my Kindle loan ran out and saw no need to renew it so that I could finish reading. I think I have to give WWII stories a break for a while. I need more upbeat, joyful stories that counteract the current world we are living in.

I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
