The weather here is grey, wet and miserable, I'm a bit poorly and have had to miss my craft group and the only thing cheering me up is the good books I've read recently and knitting, which I always find comforting. So here I am, still in pyjamas and purple fluffy dressing gown, ensconced on the sofa with a nice cup of tea and my knitting.
It's so cold today that I wish the hot water bottle cover was finished already. It's nearly done, just a couple of inches to knit, then the making up and buttons to sew on. I need three buttons and I'd like red or white ones, which I don't think I have in the right size, though I will turn out the button tin and have a good look. If not then a trip to Hobbycraft will probably have to happen at the weekend, which is never a bad thing! I'm glad I decided to sew on the felt heart, I'm really pleased with it. I think I prefer it to the intarsia heart on the original pattern.
I've just finished Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty, a thriller that I really enjoyed. I read it in one evening, staying up far too late into the night to finish it. I should stop doing that. They say you shouldn't read in bed, but I do so love to, it's where I do most of my reading. My next read is The Never List by Koethi Zan, I'm only a few pages in but liking it so far.

feel better soon, feeling icky in the winter is such a sad event. Hopefully you will be better in no time and with your craft group!! I haven't read a book in one evening in a LONG time. It takes me forever to read the simplest of books, I think because I only read one hour at most at night.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to read until almost dawn!
DeleteI've never heard that one shouldn't read in bed but if I had I shouldn't believe it. It's the best place to read ;) I think the felt heart is better as well. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's the advice given to people who have trouble sleeping. No reading, TV, computer or phone in the bedroom.
