It amuses me greatly that the above all came from the same skein of yarn. This is the last of the Jojoland Melody I used in the Tursas mittens. There was enough that I probably could have found something else to do with it, but the color is so variable I knew it
I’m nearly three weeks behind on garden goings on, which means all my actual pictures of the garden are out of date, and I’ll need to try and get some with the good camera this week. The kale and cornflowers are going like gangbusters, and I’ve been managing to get small amounts of chamomile flowers
This was just a classic 90’s YA vampire story. Cynda’s off to remote Maine to live with her father, step-mother and little half-brother, now that her mother is moving to Italy. They run an inn by the sea – an inn supposedly haunted by the ghost of a young woman who died there years ago.

Adam’s ex-wife is back – she’s gotten herself into trouble with a man who’s now stalking her, and is apparently willing to kill the people around her. Adam takes her in because she is the mother of his daughter, and since he is an alpha werewolf, it is pretty much his job to protect people.

What a different a heat wave makes – my peas are finally blooming (and half of those are already pods now – it’s been freaking hot). I will totally plant these again. The flowers are so pretty, and they’ve topped out at about waist height. Here’s hoping they taste good too! The chamomile
Pattern: Tursas by Valeria KerkkaYarn: Jojoland Melody Superwash in Apple tree and Valley Yarns Huntington in BlackNeedles: 1.5 DPNs I’m definitely treating this as a practice pair. It’s really hard keeping the jogs from pulling in when using DPNs. I wonder if magic loop would be better for this kind of colorwork. I
I picked this up for myself as a souvenir from the Bodleian Library. I don’t normally buy books in England (it’s one thing where the prices are usually far better in the US), but this was unique, and actually published by the Bodleian Library press, so I jumped on it. It’s a cool little book,

This book is a collection of short stories and novellas (and even part of a graphic novel), and explains how Sanderson’s various worlds are connected in what he’s calling the Cosmere. It’s nice to have some stories that were a little more stand-alone collected into one place- I bought this mainly because I saw I
