I really enjoyed this book – it’s got a pretty unique magic system, with a religion that’s actually based on not having gods, and taking good works in your own hands. The two main characters are Alexei – a priest of this faith, and Kasia, who does tarot readings, and has an interesting past that […]

Pattern: Winter Dreamer Hat by Kalurah Hudson Yarn: Atlantic Coast Yarn Brandon Needles: Size 10 circs and DPNs First project of the season done! I’m not normally a huge fan of bulky weight yarn, but it does lend itself to instant gratification projects. This is a simple pattern and looks very nice.
To round out the year, here’s a state of the knitting works in progress. I started the Orbits sweater in the beginning of December. I bought the pattern in the sale the designer (Rachel Illsley/Unwind Knits) did for a Colorwork KAL. So theoretically, this is for the KAL, except I haven’t bothered posted anything about it
The setting for this book is that a virus (created by humans) has decimated Earth, turning all the survivors feral. Some local aliens (the Krakau) have figured out how to reverse the effects of the virus, and are slowly curing more humans. Many of them end up joining the Alliance space force. And so we

I’ve taken my traditional week after Christmas off, and the weather is just plain dreary, so I’ve been catching up on work around the house. I have not actually taken my sewing machine out since we moved to the new house (so yes, that would be three years). I had a small list of things to
I think it’s safe to say I will not be completing anymore knitting project this year. The year was definitely about using up yarn. Even the biggest project I completed (the In Dream Shawl) was one I started in 2021, and had to put aside for some time because it initially wasn’t working for me.
I recently managed to a get a good deal on the Kindle version of this book, and after finishing off two books that I had to struggle through, I decided to treat myself to something I knew I’d enjoy. Here’s my original review. I don’t usually do re-reviews on this blog, but I had a

Here’s another book that took me being on an airplane to finish. And I’m very much not sure what I read. It’s insane. A group of kids get adopted by a man that is actually a powerful being with a cosmic library he’s written. Each kid learns a particular branch of the knowledge, and they’re

It took being on an airplane for me to finish this book. I kept going because the world is interesting, and I wanted to see when the story would start. I think it’s started by the end of the book, but I’m not really sure. There are a ton of POVs, though some of those
