knitting and reading: 12/09/14

 i have another scarf on the go.  

this time i'm using wool 

that i've unravelled from an old sweater of mine.

 i've been busy decluttering for a couple of months now,

going through my closet and donating most 

of what i haven't worn or do not fit into any more.

i found this old sweater of mine,

tired and moth eaten and not donatable...

 so i unravelled it... 

and ended up with two large balls of charcoal coloured wool.

the scarf is for a friend... 

i added blue accents, her favourite colour, for texture and design.

if you are looking for a good fiction to read...

you might want to give ruth ozeki's 

a tale of the time being 

a try.

i started it a week ago and 

i am almost finished because i couldn't put it down.

the story weaves through difficult topics such as 

bullying, buddhist monkhood, prostitution, and suicide.

ozeki has such a great writing style that although the content is dark, 

the reading is light and humorous at times.

if you read it... you'll have to tell me what you think?
