I’ve developed this really bad habit lately of parsing out books in series, even if I have all of those books available to me. I read the first book in this series a couple years ago, having gotten it for free. I did see that the others were available on Kindle Unlimited, so I figured […]

Next project is started! These are the Palanen kauneinta (Piece of The Most Beautiful) socks by Tiina Kuu. I picked them out because I wanted to do some colorwork and get rid of the fair amounts of OntheRound Nimble sock I had left. I also liked the look of the heel. I was not paying
This is my first stab at doing a master plan for the yard. The back yard plan is definitely longer term, but the front yard is something I could start on sooner. Really interesting exercise – I’m glad it’s not locked in stone, because I’m sure I’ll change it, but it did help me put
This is part of a series written by different authors about different brides stolen by various fae. I’m not sure I would have read this if it wasn’t by an author I knew I already liked – they look superficially like they could be pretty fluffy. (And I guess this one is, but not in

The Rose Plank shawl is done. I am going to block it – it won’t open up as much as a lace shawl, but it’ll definitely benefit from a bit of a stretch.
Morgen’s been laid off, and her marriage has just ended, when she finds out her grandmother has died, and left her her house out in the woods in Washington state. Morgen hasn’t been out there in years, and with nothing to hold her in Seattle, she decides to head to Bellrock to take stock of

I get the biggest kick out of how big this pattern is compared to the actual product. The translation of the name of this is Coffee Admirers. I suspect it’s losing something in the translation from Russian. (It’s really not the best translation, but I don’t say that to cast shade. It’s a really well
I found this and Volume III at the used book store for ridiculously cheap – a lovely holiday find. I forget how much I like Slater’s writing style until I’m reading one of his books again. And yes, these are cookbooks you can read. The stories that go along with each recipe are just such

First craft project of the year is done! This is Owl Forest’s Fly Agarics. It’s a fun project. Looking back at the picture on the site, the one big difference is that it’s designed to use some hand dyed variegated floss. I like the substitution colors that were given, but that variegation does look pretty
