I am two rounds away from finishing the yoke on my Childless Cat Lady sweater (Nocturnal by Saskie & Co.). Three color colorwork with LONG floats. My tension is wonky, but as GG says,"It's not hard. It's new." Amd it is practice for the next colorwork adventure.

Beginning as I mean to go on by finishing reading The London House by Katherine Reay. WWII historical fiction focusing on the story of twin sisters. In the present day, the granddaughter of one reconstructs their story in an effort to heal deep family wounds from their lifetime and her own. #booksky

Posting as a screenshot to avoid linking to CNN. Again with the secrets and "multiple sources with knowledge of the matter" (anonymous, of course). Sounds like gossip that CNN thinks its audience wants to believe more than factual reporting. Who is CNN trying to expose\embarrass? #factsplease

Let's see how this works in the sky (as opposed to on the 'gram). It's December 1st, so it's time to open the first Advent yarn set for knitting socks from Murray & Co. wool goods, and fabulous dyer in Oregon. #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting #sockvent #knitallthesocks #operationsockdrawer

I have cracked the code for knitting socks with mini skeins in a way that fits the formula I use, and I am ridiculously excited about it. #knitting #operationsockdrawer #knitallthesocks #stripedsocks #miniskeins ##marledsocks

Mostly I am too exhausted to find a picture, but I found this one in my library, and it made me laugh, so I am sharing. I sympathize with Bert.

I just finished reading The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec, and it is one of the most beautiful, elegantly constructed, powerful stories I have ever read. #reading #booksky #norsemythology

Is #socktember a thing? It doesn't quite roll off the tongue like #soctober, but I am going with it. Started these in June and cast off this morning. Yarn is from the amazing Valkyrie Fibers. Pattern is Beatrix Potter socks.

It was a rough week. Esme Cahill Fails Spectacularly by Marie Bostwick made it bearable. If you like "young woman's life falls apart (in a sudden unemployment and divorce way not a violent loss way) and she must rebuild" stories, read this book. There's quilting and crochet, too -- always a plus.

Finished first day of fall socks. Pattern is Fall Sweet Fall from the Sweater Weather collection by Knit on Designs. Looking forward to pattern two for October. In the meantime, I think I will start some stripey Halloween socks. #knitting #sockknitting #knittingseason #dohashtagsworkhere
