Weekly reading report:
3 audiobooks began and finished (all Jane Austen rereads at 1.5x)
Bleak House (begun but not finished)
At present I am leaning heavily into my library apps and reading the books they have readily available. I am in the queue for more contemporary books

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

Once this scarf for my husband is done, I can turn to the heather green version of this hat for myself. Stitch by stitch, winter in the northeast will get easier!

God forbid I try to work when my cat has chosen my desk as the best spot to lick between her toes for thirty minutes. She makes me feel I need to apologize for the impudence

Today I started a new draft of a new book. It was half borne of an idea I’ve had knocking around in my head and half the result of an idea from my husband. It’s totally not semi-autobiographical and it totally isn’t dungeons and dragons meets quiver-full homeschoolers #booksky #authorsky

The first pair of Christmas socks is finished. I have one more sock and then a hat to make before I can go back to knitting for myself. Also, I’ve learned in this process that I can knit for much longer periods with wool vs with acrylic before feeling any kind of stiffness

This is today’s #knitting check in. I finished the short rows in the back and split off for the sleeves. It’s a work in progress but I’m so glad the color-work is finished. Now it’s just time to make the body
