The first Craic sock is done. I’m liking the pattern – definitely falls into the challenging enough to remain interesting camp, and once you memorize what each cable detail means in the chart, it’s not too hard, either.
Quatrain – Sharon Shinn

Here’s the sky scarf for January and February. There’s a slightly depressing amount of white and gray, but what can I do – I’m only reporting the sky…
Clariel – Garth Nix
I was so excited to see that there was another Old Kingdom book coming out. So excited in fact, that when I bought the book, I sat on it for a full month because I was afraid I’d hyped it up too much in my mind, and I’d be disappointed. Happily, I was not. I

Pegasus in Flight – Anne McCaffrey
I decided I had to bite the bullet and finish out the second book of the Talent Saga, to see if it held up as well (or not, really) as the last had. Fortunately, this book was written a good twenty plus years after To Ride Pegasus, and holds up much better than that one
