The Color of Fire

Setting up to take this mornings picture I realized a color theme had developed. Funny how that happens when you're occupied with other things! This week has been challenging as health issues have reared their ugly head and demanded my attention. It's been necessary and therapeutic for me to keep my hands and mind busy on some simple projects.  So I decided to give amigurumi a try.  The spiral that you see is the beginning of Sammy Snail. I imagine that he'll be whole by the end of the day.  I don't think the same can be said of the socks. But that's okay.  I'm still working on finding the perfect sock pattern for me.  That's why I have two toes started here. One from my default pattern  - Socks That Fit, and the other is something new called Round and Round Toe Up Socks.  I'll let you know where my preference lies after working them each a bit more.
This week's book is Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, the second installment in the Hunger Games Trilogy.  I haven't started yet as I just closed the case on The Body in the Boudoir by Katherine Hall Page.  Stop in tomorrow when I share my review.

I'm off to check out other great projects and books with Tami, Ginny, and Susan.  Why don't you join me?

Until next time friends,
Be blessed and stitch & read with love!
