This book is a collection of translations from all the Celtic languages, meant to give a flavor for Celtic literature. It’s most heavy on Irish, Scottish and Welsh, but does bring in a bit of Manx, Cornish and Breton. The stories are loosely grouped by subjects – some are general, like Nature, but there are […]

Here’s the obligatory year end hexipuff post. Someday, I’ll have enough for a baby blanket. At least this year, I got in some different colors to break up the mostly blue and green monotony.
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.
Short stories – again, great plane material. But I also enjoyed that these are a different way of looking at McKillip’s work.

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

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
