Here’s a cable baby hat to use up some more of the Sundara Sock Water Studies yarn. (Saving the very last for a hexipuff extravaganza when I get through my forthcoming hat knitting frenzy.) Trying the Slable hat again, this time with Quince and Co. Chickadee in the Belize colorway. I’ll be more careful this
The other garden task I was behind on was planting up the seedlings. I had bought another grow light last year, after two wasn’t enough for what I planted last winter. I’d tried to set it up when I first planted seedlings, but the zip ties I needed were no where to be found. Those
This was a really interesting book, something a little different. Larkyra is the youngest daughter of three – daughter of the one of the first families of Jabari, but also one of the Mousai – the sorceress daughters of the Thief King. Magic has been lost to their world, for the most part, which is

I really hate the covers of these books. Really, really hate them. But anyway. This is another solid entry in this series – I really like Nevada and Conner’s interactions, and it’s been interesting seeing more characters introduced that I already knew about since I accidently started this series midway through. I still think I

One of the very irritating things about Covid (I’m choosing to just be irritated) is that I had plans for those two lost weekends. Yard work plans had factored in heavily. There’s a large pile of mulch under a tarp right now we had delivered two days before I developed symptoms, that I feel like
This is the Argus sweater, by Leila Raven, using Quince and Co Lark in the Iceland colorway. So, I’ve had Covid. Which is why, despite having cast this on at the end of April, I’m just posting about it now. (Case was fairly mild, I just had very little extra energy for things like blogging.)
Original review here. I don’t normally write up rereads, but I really needed to mention again how good this book is. (Really, everything Bujold writes in this world is excellent.) I love the religion, and how the gods are fairly hands off, because they need to work through humans. And I love how those people

Coffee Admirers is done. I definitely still hate French knots. (And I totally cheated and used Colonial knots.) Back stitching wasn’t too bad, though I did take a break in the middle of it to power through some knitting, because it is definitely more boring than the cross stitch sections. I guess this spells the
The Great Libraries store the grimoires of Austermeer’s sorcerers. It’s an interesting dynamic – the librarians fear the power of the sorcerers, but everyone knows that it’s the sorcerers’ magic that keeps their country safe from enemies. Only orphans are recruited to be librarians, but even they usually only enter the service of the Libraries

Guess who’s back in the yard? I had wanted to plant peas last week, but it was way too wet. BF had seen our little buddy around earlier, but I finally saw him yesterday, so plans had to be made to keep the peas safe. I already had the support up from my prep-work last
