Time

paper moire & cotton gima

A washed and blocked swatch of habu paper moire & cotton gima I did last month. Initially I had planned to design a jacket with the yarn..now I might have to put that thought behind...

One of colleague often says "I wish I can stop time" whenever she's swamped with work or stress out with deadlines. Today, I think I'm going have to borrow that from her. Work is still hectic, no fun! On top of that I also signed my self up with a couple of freelance work. So with that said, it's probably time for me to take a break from blogging. No, I will not be on a vacation. I wish I could. I will be working on other things and some personal affairs that very much needed my attention.

Before finishing, can I thank all of you who have purchased something from my spring destash. I hope you'll enjoy your yarn. As for all the comments, I’m trying to reply to everyone personally, but if I omit anyone, you know who you are. I apologize. If time permits, I'll come peek at you at bloglines, who knows may be I'll return with a finish garment or nothing at all. Alrighty, take care everyone!

It's so Australia Bush.

Like it's grown out of the ground.

It's making my head explode.

I think I'm in love.

I recognise that book - Falling blossom? I just finished it myself.

Hope the blogging break goes well - sometimes they're just necessary.

and thank you for the habu swatch photo. as shula said, it does look very australia bush. like it's sprung from the ground instead of knitting needles.

The blog break is well deserved, but I'll definitely miss you. I've come to rely on your blog for my almost daily picture and fiber fix. Hope your work life doesn't become too stressful! :)

Funny, when I finished by B.A. recently, I was convinced that I'd have all the time in the world to finish all the projects I had postponed and set aside for months. However, it seems like I never have enough hours in the evening to get anything done.

I have barely an inch of a sock leg knitted and I think I've forgotten how to purl....
