Pattern: Swirl Hat by Mandie HarringtonYarn: Quince and Co Finch in the Bird’s Egg colorwayNeedles: Size 4 circs and DPNs These are my first Swirl hats in the Child (next to largest) size – I’ve done a ton of these as stash busters in the newborn size. It’s a great pattern – super easy.
We have peas! In woodchuck news, we left the house last Saturday, and turned onto the main road we’re just two houses in from, and there was a very dead woodchuck in the middle of the road. It had the right coloring to be ours, and we haven’t seen hide nor hair of any sort

I enjoyed the end of this trilogy, though it did seem like the book went on forever – it felt much longer than the prior two books. We start with Nahri and Ali back in Cairo, Ali’s first time among humans. Because they have Sulieman’s ring with them, all magic back in the city of
