Here’s the end of the Tess’ Designer Yarns Peruvian sock. I’m now down about a thousand yards of yarn for the year, between projects, and selling a couple skeins that I had no immediate use for last week. (I’m still waiting for those to arrive at their destination so I can spend the money […]
I get the feeling the author really wanted to stick to a trilogy with this series, but man did she pack a lot into this last book. In the first book, Diana Bishop, witch, and Matthew Clairmont, vampire, meet and fall in love. It’s forbidden. You get a little taste of why.
