On my kindle The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon. Off my hook and onto my sewing needle a new wreath cover.
I only started this book this morning and am heading in trepidatiously. I did not enjoy Everything Everything at all, mainly due to seeing the “massive twist” coming from the first chapter. But I did like Nicola Yoon’s writing style, The Sun is Also a Star is highly rated on Goodreads and I like the sound of the story as well as fitting into the Read Harder challenge so I am giving it a try.
This wreath cover is destined to be a first birthday present for a very special someone and I am excited to start work on the embellishments. This is the first time I have worked on a 30cm base in a while and I forgot just quite how much longer the strip of stripy single crochet needed to be than the more reasonable amount required for a 23cm wreath. But I now have almost a metre of stripes and the sewing on can begin with the exciting creative bit just around the corner!
Linking up with Ginny and the other Yarn Alongers sharing what they are reading and working on.
I have a polystyrene base lying in waiting – I’d love to try a wreath, but mustn’t start yet another project just yet. 😉

in my experience they are a bit addictive! I made a Christmas wreath in 2015, it was the first thing I ever crocheted and then I caught the bug! I’m now up to 7 big ones and I’ve lost count of how many minis. Eeeeeek!
