Knitting a Tee I Would Wear

 That 70s Tee (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/that-70s-tee) is one of my most well-loved finishes ever. 


 

To this day I don't know what made me do it the first time and if I will ever do it again. I watched the designer Janine McCarty's podcast before and I guess I was convinced that having it in my wardrobe was good for my well-being. Well, knitting the different parts and piecing them like a puzzle was challenging, to say the least, and there were stretches of time where I thought I would lose my mind. 3 years after I bound off, I decided I wanted it shorter so I frogged and knit it to a cropped length. The variegated yellow yarn pooled in some places but I don't really care because the experience was a true testament to how patient I can get when I put my mind to the task at hand. And I really love the fit!

A Book Reaction: The Death of Mrs. Westaway

  We're all different from each other. We have different tastes, likes, turn offs. That's why we are INDIVIDUALS. I can see this nowhere as clear as on Goodreads where I often go for book recommendations. Of course the synopsis is the first I turn to. Then I go down and read the reviews. And that's where my troubles begin. Oftentimes I grab the title that most people gush about, sending my precious money to Amazon for the Kindle version. A third or halfway through the book I just want to send evil dart stares at these people whose faceless voices egged me over the cliff.   The Death of Mrs. Westaway is one such novel. I was a bit nervous starting it because I just came from skipping and skimming a James Patterson book (total trash, I should've listened to my own voice and not be fooled by Patterson's 'writing' again. But 'they' said it was good. Bah!), as a few reviewers gave the Ruth Ware novel thumbs down. Well, well. I enjoyed The Death of Mrs. We...

New and Old

New Year, New Decade. As I stood on the threshold of a new decade, I asked myself how I was ten years ago. Honestly, I can barely imagine myself ten years younger. I just knew that there were things that I wish I had done back then, like starting a blog, for example. Had I done it, I would already have ten years' worth of memories to look back on today. Woulda. Shoulda. Coulda.Well, it's never too late, is it? If there's one thing I learned from our trip to Hiroshima, Japan, it's that Time does not stand still. Everything moves forward . Hence, I have resolved to use this platform to record my passage in this world. I may start out fumbling and slow but I hope to get better at this as time goes by. I am buoyed by this Chinese proverb which I have set as my guiding line for the new year. I hope any one reading this post will also be inspired. P.S. I am extremely proud of this photo which I took during my family's latest outing in Hiroshima. More on those later...
