We’re back to the world of Constable – now Detective – Peter Grant, London police officer and wizard in training. After a bit of an interlude in the last one and a half books, the Faceless Man and Lesley are back. And I don’t feel like I can talk about it much, because it’s all […]

The great new year yarn purge continues – here’s the last of the Shubui Knits Stacato, in hexipuff form. I’ve also cast on a Hermione Loves Ron with my leftover Madeline Tosh Vintage yarn. It’s technically the wrong weight, but I’d done one of these before in the same weight yarn, and really liked the
This is the last book in the trilogy about the Gale family. Charlie, the Wild Gale, is back in Calgary, watching her cousin Allie give a good go at getting the seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son into the Gale family. And Jack, half-Gale, half-dragon prince, is growing up a little

I’ve decided to do a temperature scarf for 2019, but I really wanted to get both the highs and the lows. I couldn’t figure out a good way to get them into one scarf without making things muddy, so I finally settled on doing two scarves. Temps are to be taken from

Here’s the 2018 crop. Didn’t quite get to 100, but I was close. That was due to quite a few rereads this year. We’ll see if that keeps up for next year or not – it’ll depend on how much I need comfort reading.
This is a great conclusion to the The Herald Spy trilogy – Mags and Amily definitely come into their own as the King’s Spy and the King’s Own. There’s a nasty bully in Haven – he or she is targeting the women of Haven that have dared to set themselves up in positions better than

Here’s the 2018 crop. Not too shabby – more than last year. (And this does not include the progress I’ve made on three separate scrappy blankets.) I’ve already got a bunch of stash busting plans, so hopefully I can continue in this vein for 2019.

I’ve finished the Willowfall Cowl, though I’m not sure when I’ll get to block it, so no final post for that yet. In trying to get rid of more ends, I looked at my sport and DK weight yarn to see if there were any I could add to the scrappy worsted and aran weight
This is more of a novella – starting with a young widow purchasing a new house to get away from the memories of her dead husband. The house has been on the market for a while, because it’s supposedly haunted by the ghost of a young girl. Naturally, Clara sees the ghost. In trying to
