It seems like a lot of folks hate large blocks of colour and like changing needles. And this is fine too.
But right now I'm in the mood for utterly brainless stitching. Which for me is giant blocks of colour with very little thread changes. The background of this piece works just fine!
Of course I'll probably get tired of large blocks soon, but while the muse is willing I'm going to get as much done as possible!
I've also been listening to Terry Pratchett's "Unseen Academicals" on audiobook. I have about 2 hours to finish. While entertaining it's a bit odd, because the blurb makes it sound like the entire book is about the UU's football endeavours, but that takes up about a 1/5 of the book. Usually I find Terry's twists unpredictable, but not so in this: I saw certain things coming miles away. I wonder how much of this is because I've read all his books (and therefore am familiar with this style) or how much has to do with his Alzheimer's affecting his writing...

I don't usually like stitching those large monochrome pieces either, but every now and then, I do like the relaxation I feel while stitching one. Kind of like meditation.
Good progress on that one.
Me again. Just sent you an e-mail.
