One Stitch At A Thyme

This week's SBQ was suggested by Outi and is:

What is your favorite past time while stitching? Do you just enjoy silence, listen to music/audiobooks or do you "watch" TV/movies? Do you have specific favorites you listen to/watch while stitching?

I usually listen to music CDs or audio books when I stitch.

I tried watching TV and stitching, but would usually end up miscounting and being off by a square frogging what I just did. Or I’d wait for the commercial breaks and only managing 8 - 12 stitches per break so in reality I hardly got any sewing done at all.

Audio books can be a bit tricky too. Sometimes I get into listening to the narrator and have a tendency to stop stitching if it’s a brand new book.

No specific book favorites, just what every happens to be handy - Fantasy, Romance, etc. For music I prefer new age, classical, anything instrumental.

Today's SBQ was suggested by Renée and is:

Sorry to say – not a blessed thing. I’m putting all my stitching out-of-sight for the next 9 months. So when I do get it out again I’m going to be r-e-a-l-l-y enthused to work on it.
