Oh Golly Gosh!

So much stuff so little time! But soon very sooon I'll have some more time to do things I really enjoy! :) My Master's Thesis is almost done! Yay! That means more evenings crafting than reading, analyzing and writing. I have been doing some crafts on the side though. You know those never ending projects that tend to hide (read: I stash them) around the house :)

One never ending project was this raspberry blanket (project started 2012!!...) Now finished!!!

The block pattern is from a book by Melody Griffiths, 201 Crochet Motifs, Blocks, Projects and Ideas. I luuuv this book!

One very dear friend of mine an I also had a project together! A pretty flower jacket for a little girl :) unfortunately I only have pics of the not so ready project but they'll have to do (this pattern is also from the book by Griffiths) awesome book...

I still have some projects hiding/stashed...

Knitting, crocheting and reading

I usually don't have time to do any leisure reading (I only tend to read books that are related to my studies...bit boring..I know...) I think it's because I like "multitasking." Like knitting/crocheting while watching TV. I have not mastered the art of reading and doing handcrafts at the same time..I probably never will :P Is it even possible?! I might start reading a book with superduper enthusiasm but then the unavoidable happens and I start to think all the other things I could be doing. In most cases the book ends up buried under multiple balls of yarn (and when I receive a notice from the library the epic quest in finding the looong overdue book begins.) Maybe I have just been reading the wrong kind of books! This is the conclusion I came up with the other day when I noticed that I had stumbled upon a book that makes me want to read it here and now and also makes me want to crochet and knit like never before! All thanks goes to my mum ♥Love her to bits♥ who brought me this book and said "I think you might like this one." She was sooo right!


The book is called "The Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs.

I have now reached chapter 9 (out of 36!! Still soo many pages to explore♥) And today I also found out that there is a sequel called "Knit Two" AMG I think I'm in heaven :D
