The stitch is Crest of the Wave – a beautiful old shetland stitch that I have used often – coming soon. In the meantime I am in another photo scavenger hunt.

\nThere was\/is something very quiet about book stores and libraries. They often reminded me of church. You entered with hushed voices and you were reverent. You respected other people’s silence, their mental occupation and you respected the books – the tomes that spoke to you without speaking, that begged to be opened and thumbed and maybe even read. There was a certain immenseness about “book houses.” Yes, there were the actual physical books; but there were also the stories that they told, the information they held, the stimulating ideas they engendered. They were housed in grand buildings with beautiful windows and aesthetic decor. They raised the spirits along with the imagination.<\/span>
