Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51: Nothing. Persephone (probably not its real name): Nothing.

Started the month at just over 6" of the body. Did nothing.  Quattro socks #2 : Still need to do the danglers on the second.  Boheme (Jo Sharp). Started the month with like 2 inches of the first front. Did nothing.  Release the hounds . Started the month with three inches of a sleeve.  Lucky Rabbit socks  (Knitty). Finished both, nice pattern.  Broadripple (Knitty). Finished the first, I am heartily sick of working on socks.  Sashiko project: Nothing.  Purple Romper: Nothing. 

LHC #334: "The Jasmine Throne" by Tasha Suri . eBook. I liked this very much and put the sequel on my list.  "Maybe you should talk to someone" by Lori Gottlieb . eBook. For office book club. The most interesting bit to me was near the beginning when she was a script assistant in Hollywood, and that was the most creative job she had in the industry. Getting promoted away from that was all about having lunches, not actually creative stuff. I would have felt the same way if I'd ever worked in that industry, but I chose the safe job instead. The therapy parts were fine I guess.  LHC #335: "The Navigating Fox" by Christopher Rowe . Audiobook. I listened to this very charming book in the car. I loved the worldbuilding, it had what was necessary and skipped the rest. How the concept of the knowledgeable animals was developed was great.  LHC #336: "Drowned Country" by Emily Tesh . Hard copy. Sequel, I forgot this one was a sequel and left it too lon...

Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51: Nothing. Persephone (probably not its real name): Nothing. Vinterlys:  I'm fleshing out the doctor and patient characters, which will lead to an actual ending to the novel, not the sudden stop it has now.  Started a short story, but it's just notes and thoughts in my head. It's because I want to write something on paper, and also have something to put on OWW since I will never finish Chapter 4, it seems like.  Critted 4 Got back 1 Submissions 0 Out there 0 Rejects 0 Knitting Aberlady (AS Celtic Collection). Started the month at just over 6" of the body. Did nothing.  Plain ordinary socks #2 : Finished the second sock.  Quattro socks #2 : Finished the first. Started the second.   Boheme (Jo Sharp).

Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51: Nothing. Persephone (probably not its real name): Nothing. Vinterlys: I've been picking through the second setting, which encompasses about 8 chapters. Separately, I had a vague idea for how to end things that might bring it back around to the beginning.   Critted 4 Got back 1 Submissions 0 Out there 0 Rejects 0 Knitting Aberlady (AS Celtic Collection). Started the month at just over 6" of the body. Did nothing.  Plain ordinary socks #2 : Started the month just past the heel on the first sock. Finished that one and started the second.  Quattro socks #2 : Started the first, got almost to the heel.  Boheme (Jo Sharp). Started a front. I'm doing the fronts first so I can maybe figure out how to decorate the back. I'm not fond of coffin sweaters. I have no idea why this only has 3 completions on Ravelry, it looks so cute.  Sashiko project: Nothing.  Purple Romper: Nothing. 

LHC #330: "Real Ones" by Katherina Vermette. Hard copy. At the start I had a hard time keeping track of which sister was which. Sometimes I wonder if KV did too? I was expecting more strife, but the only repercussions of the whole pretendian thing were some uncomfortable conversations.  LHC #331: "Red Team Blues" by Cory Doctorow. Audiobook. I have read a lot of his blog posts, and it's interesting to see him work those ideas into his fiction. I think I get the idea though. Sort of reminded me of reading "The Jungle" (Upton Sinclair), I suppose that's a good thing to be compared to? Wil Wheaton is a good reader.  Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures by Vincent Lam. Hard copy. I've had it around the house since pre-covid. I didn't realize it was the same characters as On the Ravine until I was reading that one. Way better than On the Ravine, that's for sure.  LHC #332: "Anatomy: a love story" by Dana Schwartz. Hard copy. Mayb...

Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51:   Nothing. Persephone (probably not its real name): Nothing. Vinterlys: Finished Chapter 4.  Critted 4 Got back 1 Submissions 0 Out there 0 Rejects 0 Knitting Aberlady (AS Celtic Collection). Took it on vacation and did two pattern repeats (!) mostly in the car. It's now just over 6" long. I agreed with a comment I saw on Ravelry, that this was a very tedious pattern to knit. And I loved seeing some people had abandoned the key pattern at the armholes, or done the sleeves plain, or the like. I'm optimistic that it will become less hellish when I get to the armholes. Maybe I'll get there sometime around Christmas?  Quattro socks (knitty). Tidied up the danglers on the first sock, finished the second. I did not enjoy this pattern, though I will try it once more in a different size and with a different organization of balls of yarn.  Plain ordinary socks #2 : Last month I had started the cuff on the first sock. Now I'm just pas...
