I've got 48 hours before we leave for my Granny's eightieth birthday, and unfortunately I can't knit in the passenger seat, so the heat is really on with her gift. And at last I managed to get my hands on my book group's choice for this month (When God was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman) - it's the first time I can go to book group for two years, so I really should be sure to finish it. Luckily it's proving quite a quick, enjoyable read but I'm only half way through and, from the reviews I've read, I know I need to digest the second half before forming an opinion on it.
I'm feeling really quite smug about my low-pressure covetable deadlines. You can probably tell. Obviously I'm putting aside the tax problems that I have no idea how to solve, tediously urgent change of address letters, and medical waiting lists that must be joined - they'll need to wait for another day. Yarning Along with Ginny.
The colours you're using for your Granny's present are so beautiful :) They coordinate nicely with the book cover too *laughs*
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting it finished in time!
Clickety clack and scruffling - I can hear those deadlines disappearing as you knit and page-turn your way to happiness.

PS: "When God Was A Rabbit" was one of the books recommended for my 'Vive Le Livre!' list, so I'll be keen to find out what you think....perhaps you'll be finished in time to join in next Tuesday?!?

ReplyDeleteLove the colors!! I am sure your grandma will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteOh the colors of this shawl will be wonderful with what I'm assuming is the color of your grandmother's hair? Silvery white? Or peppered? I'm sure she'll cherish very much. Hope your fingers don't ache too much as you race to finish it!
ReplyDeleteSuch nice deep pretty blues for a shawl. Looks like when we sail out into the Gulf Stream and the water deepens its color instantly.
ReplyDeleteDeadlines. Hmm. Much prefer my own deadlines. Hope you finish your Granny's present. Now, that is a nice deadline.
ReplyDeleteI hope you managed! The colours look gorgeous.
