Daughter of Time

Our office is moving. The organization has been in the same building for 12 years. We’re all suffering from 12 years of accumulated dust being liberated. I like our new offices. I won’t be alone on a floor any more, but everyone has an office with a door and either a window or skylight. 

I knit the skein of Quince Lark yarn that I bought at Looped Yarn Works. I used size 6 needles and knit a shaker rib by alternating rows of knitting and purling in the stitch below. Lark is a nicely balanced yarn, not overly processed soft and it has a lot of natural body. The colourway is Leek 131.

 

I’ve been sorting and rearranging stash as part of the summer to winter change over. I finished this wip started sometime in 2010.

 

Right now I’m swatching Knit Picks Telemark--a discontinued sport weight—on size 4 bamboo needles.

I listened to Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey on audio books while tidying today. Fascinating story. I still think the evidence is inconclusive about Richard III’s guilt in murdering the little princes. He had motive. His opportunity was having the princes under his auspices in the tower. But the Tudors and the Lancastrians also had motive and most probably equal opportunity with spies or people in their employ within the Tower. Gosh if you could resurrect people to get at the truth of what happened, the death of the two princes would be a prime candidate.
