Sewing Notes
In the course of Christmas shopping, I managed to find my niece’s next birthday present. (Yep, that’s in August. I’m way ahead.) Here’s a bag in which to contain it.
Wonders of the Invisible World – Patricia A. McKillip
Short stories – again, great plane material. But I also enjoyed that these are a different way of looking at McKillip’s work. Most of these stories were not so much about the beautiful language I enjoy so much about her novels, but the stories are still wonderful. Some favorites: “Undine”- an unexpected, modern take on

Steelheart – Brandon Sanderson
When the Epics first appeared, there were many that believed that humans with super powers would want to help everyone. But it turns out that having powers goes to a person’s head, and a massive power struggle ensued, where regular people suffered as various Epics consolidated their power. David was there when Steelheart claimed Chicago,

Georgette Heyer Reading Challenge: 1/1/14 – 12/20/14
It being the final week of the year, I think I can safely close out the Georgette Heyer Reading Challenge. I read: I was trying to get to level 2 (10 books), but I’m ok falling one short. That means I have one physical book and one Kindle book left still to look forward

Pistols for Two – Georgette Heyer
Read for the Georgette Heyer Reading Challenge. This book of short stories was a perfect travel read. It was also fun to experience her writing in a shorter form. They’re probably even a little more mad cap than usual because she needed to pack so much into so few pages. I’m also amazed how much

Knitting Notes
For a slightly brainless project, I’ve cast on a Honey Cowl for myself, in one of my Sundara yarns that I’ve been just looking at for a while now because I really love the colors. I decided I really should try to make them into something that other people can see as well. (This one

Knitting Notes
This is the Fisher Hat, by Lindsey Felice. It’s for the BF. He asked for something a little less stretchy than the last hat I made him, so this one has cables, and stockinette on the top. We’ll see how it goes. The yarn is Malabrigo Rios in the Glazed Carrot colorway. It really is
Wizards – Editted by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois
This is actually a reread – I think I got this book out of a bargain bin at some point, and it’s been hanging out in my stored books since. I did a catalog of those last month, and this was the only one I really couldn’t decide if I either definitely wanted to keep
