What I read: June 2024

LHC #251: "Foundryside" by Robert Jackson Bennett.  ebook. I started off thinking this was way too simplistic, but it was good clean fun.  LHC #252: "City of Broken Magic" by Mirah Bolender.

The end. And that is not good, that's giving up.  Critted  3  Got back  0 Submissions  0  Out there   0   Rejects   0 Knitting Cathar  (self). Started the month with about an inch of the second sleeve (the first sleeve and body are done). Now I'm into the color work.  Morning Brew  (Coffeehouse Knits). Started the month with just the neck and finishing to go. Did that.  Blushing Cloud  (Knitty S/S24). I had maybe three inches of back done. I did about one row, since I'm probably going to run out of yarn, and because I don't like this yarn that much to work with
