"Rebecca"

Updated: Jun 17



Yesterday, I was preparing my summer vacation absorbed in the warm images of the place where I was born, the Canary Islands, my loved ones: my family, friends... I dreamed of the sun, the sea, the cliffs of my longed-for islands. My reverie was suddenly interrupted by the dark thunderclaps that followed blinding lightning that presided over an ice storm that unexpectedly burst into Gothenburg before my astonished gaze.

Hiding behind my fragile geraniums I contemplated the beautiful patches of ice on my windows and the cobblestones of my street.


This serves as a lesson for me to understand that what we expect to happen does not always happen. Summer is also interrupted by a sudden frost.


So while I felt the warm refuge of my home, I crocheted and crocheted these two panels in fancy stitch, from the softest merino wool I have ever had the pleasure of handling, UY.Yarn's Uruguayan merino wool in the strong multicolor color. The side panels are 100% cotton, and I intend to make myself a small top/poncho which I will show as soon as I have finished it.


So, hypnotized by the intense blue, pink and gradients, the movie "Rebecca" came to mind based on the novel of the same name by the writer Daphne de Maurier.


The writer inspired Hitchcock for several of his films, since it was the director who brought this story to the big screen for the first time in 1940, which begins bright, romantic and warm and gives way to a dark thriller dominated by mystery and deep blue. of the ocean. A drama with a real "background swell".



Daphne du Maurier, who remained in love with the beauty of Cornwall's landscapes all her life, left us a good legacy of novels to enjoy her great insight and psychological analysis of her characters.



“Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.”

― Daphne Du Maurier, Rebecca
