Poker night for The Dude means a quiet night at home for me. Tonight I watched one of my favourite films, Bright Star by Jane Campion. Not only is this the type of film I like to watch when I am on my own - slow, quiet, visually beautiful - but also because the main female character sews all her own clothes, by hand, beautifully. If only I had days to while away, hand sewing and floating around Hampstead Heath...
I got this film out of my local library, which is the awesome City of Melville library, AH Bracks. I don't go as often as would like, but I swear they get in at least two new crafting books every month. Yum yum! Plus there is a huge kids section with jigsaws to keep the little ones amused I try to decide which eight books to take home. If you have a local library, support it!
I've decided to start yet another knitting project, a stripey scarf using these two colours of Moda Vera Pure Wool 8 Ply yarn from Spotlight. I want a nice flat reversible stitch for this but don't want to do K1P1. Any suggestions? x
