I blame Dorre for this. As if I needed another hobby that involved yarn/string/thread, she showed up last week at our Panera Stitch ‘n Bitch with some thread based craft I’d never seen before. Sashiko. A linear embroidery from Japan.
I watched her doing it with great curiosity though I did decline the invitation to try it then and there. But the itch was forming. I’m powerless in the face of thread 
Friday morning, I ordered a couple of starter kits. Boy shipping can take forever when you’re itching . I actually regretted the fact that Friday was my work from home day and that I couldn’t just hop the subway up to Purl and pick up a kit NOW!!!!
So my first kit arrived with yesterday’s mail: Circles. I finally got to play. I’ve finished almost all the first lines. This is just what the doctor ordered for my work tired brain that read the cable chart upside down Monday evening and had to rip back four rows. Ugh.
So there you have it. A new obsession is born.
Craft on!

You really need to keep that to yourself. We don’t need any more hobbies either and that looks like a lot of fun despite my sewing aversion.

Fiber hos do this sort of thing. I’m fascinated to find out what the FO looks like.
