Greenwitch is the third book of the Dark is Rising Sequence. I have to admit right here that the books involving the Drew children are not my favorite books in the series (you’ll notice I’m not even rereading Over Sea, Under Stone this go around). This is partially because I read The Grey King the […]

My Young Adult Challenge 2008 reading is done! I ended up reading the following: For the most part, I enjoyed everyone of these. Even the ones I didn’t like as much as the others weren’t so bad that I wasn’t able to finish them. Several of these were the beginnings of series that I’m now

Read for the YA 2008 Reading Challenge. The fairy tale and folklore group I lurk on at Ravelry is currently reading The Dark is Rising as a winter-themed read along, and I was suddenly seized by a fit of nostalgia and decided to read along too. The story is set during the Christmas season, and

And here’s last night’s work on my mother’s Spring Forward socks. The pattern is what I can only describe as wicked easy. I flew through the above in no time flat last night, and probably have done twice as much if I hadn’t had some chores to do. I’m not sure I’m in love with
Christmas item number two is done! (And as a side note, can I just say how much I miss it being light for at least a little while when I get home from work? This picture is not the best.) Pattern: Nereid GlovesYarn: Socks that Rock Raven Clan in the Thraven colorway, medium weightNeedles: Size
My Sundara Artist’s Choice Yarn Collection arrived today. I’d gotten the mixed palette, figuring that was probably the best way to score some blue, as well as the warmer tones I like. I figured I’d get two colors that I really liked, and one I could trade for something else. I got better than that.
Nereid glove #1 is done! I managed one and half gifts in the month of November. Woot! I’m definitely enjoying this pattern, but I think I’m glad I’m doing Pomatomus as a mitt rather than a sock. I’m not sure I’d like how this fabric feels on my feet. But it sure looks cool and
Read for the TBR 2008 Reading Challenge. I read somewhere once that Stephen King’ On Writing was the best book about writing available, and while I haven’t read enough in the genre to feel comfortable agreeing with that sentiment, I can definitely say it’s one of the best books about writing I’ve ever read. The

Yesterday, not being much of a hordes of insane shoppers fan, and with the BF working, I decided to head into town to see Twilight. Of that, I’ll only say that I’m about fifteen years too old to be able to sit through that movie with a completely straight face. That being said, I did
I actually cast on holiday knitting item two a couple of days ago, but only just finally got around to taking a picture of it. You’ll notice I’m not necessarily that far along, as the pattern is a bit more fiddly than the last one I completed. These are Nereid Fingerless Gloves, which are based
