Reading this now and I am loving it. I am late to the Ursula K. Le Guin train but have not been disappointed by anything so far. This one is quite different style wise from the Earthsea books, but no less captivating. #booksky

First complete dk socks. These toe up with afterthought heel. These are pretty thick so definitely warmer. A fun knit but I think I prefer a gussetted sock for better fit.#sockknitting

#bookchallenge #booksky 💙📚 If you haven’t read this yet I highly recommend to get it on the list. An overhaul of how we relate to our world is sorely needed.

A modified interpretation of Socks on a Plane pattern, in which I put two rows of cables rather than mirrored single cables on each sock. I don’t want to be thinking about which sock goes on which foot, so this way they are interchangeable. Yarn is a lovely merino from the thrift shop.#sockknitting

Recently finished books: The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan is a romp through history with a focus on trade and its political impact. Engaging- highly recommend!
Homing is an author’s account of striving to align her choices to environmental values. Lots of inspiring ideas- also recommend.

Some mending projects since the start of the year 1. Sock darning 2. A lunchbag that the side seam had come apart and lost a button 3. Socks that had been casted off too tightly that needed a cuff redo 4. A scarf with three different spots of moth holes
