The actual cross stitching for Coffee Admirers is done – there’s a fair amount of back stitching to go, and I do get a kick out how much that makes a difference in a back stitch heavy pattern. (Heck, I got a kick out of how much taking a picture worked to up the contrast […]
In the second book of this series, we’re out of the school of Skyhold, and journeying into the desert, in a sandship. First destination – the city of Theras Tel, ruled by a dragon who’s also one of the most powerful storm mages in the world. Where the first book is a pretty standard school

I forgot – there is another reason I’m not a fan of toe up socks. The short row heels. I ran into that hard with these socks. I got my way through it (first sock was finished last night), but apparently my new found liking of toe up socks is false – I really hate
Taryn has a new patroness for her digs in Beccia’s ancient Elven ruins. Said patroness is dead set on finding something specific, and naturally, it turns out to be no good for Taryn. Still enjoying this series – it’s a weirdly anachronistic fantasy world (I’ve never seen a fantasy character that dwells so much on

I really enjoyed the end of this series. Definitely one of the best free series I’ve ever read. (The first book was completely free, but I got the others through Kindle Unlimited.) Hetta and Wyn are under a deadline – she’s pregnant, and they need the High King’s blessing to marry. But no one’s seen

Pattern: Rose Plank by Monika Sirna Yarn: Bare Naked Wools Targhee Tango Sport in the Apilado colorway Needles: Size 2 circs The Rose Plank shawl is done and blocked. The blocking doesn’t do a ton, but if you compare the pictures of before and after, it does firm things up a bit.
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
