Knitting Notes
This is as far as I got with the Josaqan socks. I actually got a little further into the toe, and definitely didn’t have enough yarn. I briefly considered doing a totally different colored toe, but I also did not love how huge these socks were looking, so ultimately, I decided I need to go
Elemental Thief – Rachel Morgan
I’m always so happy when I find a free book I really enjoy. Ridley’s life changed forever the day magic went rogue. Not only did her mother die in the upheaval, and her father lose his business, but she’s forced to hide her own magical power when the backlash is to outlaw magic entirely. It’s
