A thread of dreamy books I couldn’t buy today because of rent. (I did buy some but not these.)

Just some recent things. Halloween nails, autumn, crochet things (including the genesis of my hideous Christmas jumper).
Lots of granny squares on the floor in autumn colours. Black nails with one nail that has a pumpkin design. An autumnal scene with an old mill building and lots of trees with autumn leaves. A granny stitch crochet project in lots of festive colours.

Ancestry has massively updated its DNA data, and I am no longer as northern as I was 🥲

(They explain every time that of course our DNA doesn't change, but their data change and apparently this gives a clearer/more accurate picture.)
A screenshot showing my extremely caucasian ancestry spread across England, Celtic & Gaelic regions, and Nordic.

It’s an orange #CrochetAway theme and I dug these out from the archive. One of them is the first cardigan I ever made. It’s a bit wonky but I’m fond of it 😊
An orange pumpkin mug and an orangey coloured crochet project in progress (a granny square mitt). An orange and black cup cosy. A rather wonky looking orange cardigan. An orange and cream coloured crochet cowl in a chunky yarn.

I very nearly expired and went to Valhalla in The Yarn Barn, Milnrow.
These are all photos of yarns and yarns and yarns and yarns on shelves and shelves and shelves in The Yarn Barn. It is a joyous sight for anyone who knits or crochets.

It was a lovely night listening to Ceri Houlbrook and Tabitha Stanmore speaking about folklore/cunning folk last night. Off to see Sarah Hall and Daisy Johnson at the lit festival tomorrow. Off work and making progress on my autumn scarf today. Perfect seasonal activities 🍂 🧶 📕
‘Helm’ by Sarah Hall, a partially completed crochet scarf in autumnal colours, and a handsome mug with black coffee in it.

Here’s some calming (?) West Yorkshire rain for you. This spot always relaxes me (so long as I have my wellies and raincoat.)

My childhood equivalent of the Usborne book of ghosts was this wonderful book that kickstarted my love of all things weird. Anyone else remember this one?
The cover of The World's Greatest Ghosts by Nigel Blundell and Roger Boar. It features a skull and the Amityville house.

I booked my tickets, did five hours with the henna, finished my hat, and cooked a mushroom & cannellini bean stew (not shepherds pie). Failed on the book but I’m not far off the end and have lots of train travel this week 🚂
A handsome finished beanie with a pompom. It is crochet but has a red, green and cream fairisle-esque mushroom design.
