Still working on the Embossed Leaves Socks from Interweave’s Favorite Socks. Finally got out of the twisted rib section (I hate knitting into the back of the loop!) and into the actual pattern. It’s a pretty simple pattern, and I’m still absolutely loving the colors of this yarn. I’m also enjoying working from my first […]
Read for the Once Upon a Time II Reading Challenge. I’ve had Anansi Boys and American Gods on my to read list for quite some time (because someone had them buried in the basement and could never remember to grab them whenever he was in the area…). I’d always intended to read American Gods first,

The Baby Yoda sweater is done. I hadn’t planned on finishing it this weekend, but I have good reason to believe that the recipient will be/has already arrived early, so I figured a push to finish it up this weekend was in order. I’m happy with the yarn (Knit Pick’s Shine Worsted, in Reef) I
My cracktasic whirlwind tour of David Eddings’ longest story continues. The Mallorean picks up where the Belgariad left off, after Garion has defeated the dark god Torak, and all should be right with the world. Naturally, it’s not. Turns out, killing Torak was something that had to happen before the ultimate showdown between the Dark

Read for the Young Adult and Once Upon a Time II Reading Challenges. This tale of the beast from “Beauty and the Beast” is an interesting twist on the fairy tale. In the author’s notes, she lists a popular poetry version of this tale by Charles Lamb in 1811 as the inspiration for the setting
