Am I, as a library worker really in need of new books? Not really. But it was nice to support some cute local shops on this Canadian Independent Bookstore Day. I had fun times hanging out with @lydia1879 hitting @glassbookshop & @paperbirchbooks on a gran

Earthlings by Sayaka Murata 3.5/5 Stars I was excited to read this because of how much I enjoyed Convenience Store Woman (by the same author). This book does contain scenes of sexual abuse and violence, but it’s brief. Though it tackles more serious topi

Walk Me to the Corner by Anneli Furmark 3.5/5 Stars This comic starts right after the main character meets the woman she starts a relationship with, outside of her marriage and chronicles how it changes her life drastically in a short period of time. The

Educated by Tara Westover 4/5 Stars This was the Book Club selection for work. I was hesitant to start because it’s a heavy book filled with traumatic events. But I was quickly drawn in by the agency shown by Tara’s mother in being able to support the fa

Back in the Fall I knit this sweater for my Dad. He kept wearing a nice cabled one I had made him previously to do yard work so I made him a less precious one. I used the #OspreyPullover pattern which I adapted for length and swapped out 1x1 ribbing for t

I’m going to need @tinyhumanknits to remind me the name of this colourway but these socks are done! I have been grabbing a sock set from Laura and a sock needle to have something to knit during my breaks. My library colleagues keep seeing me knit the tube

Let me present to you my #BigRibPullover test knit by @jessssiemae knit from ancient, when I first moved to Montreal stash (plus mohair). This one knit up fast, is floofy and comfy & perfect. You probably need one too.

A grid post to commemorate my first weaving project with Brienne of Tarth, my 60” floor loom. I guess I was basically weaving a scarf? Who knew? Anyways, time to tie some fringe and finish it (I guess the weavers don’t call it blocking).

It’s 11:09pm on December 31, 2022 and I’ve finished my last project for the year. I cast this sock tube on Christmas Eve and finished putting the heels in about 10 min ago. They were a nice small project to work on during holiday visiting and my unexpecte

This post is for the journalling/planner friends. Yes, I’m a bullet journaller and I’m not afraid to share! First slide, my 2022 Bullet Journal planners. Lesson learned that the Hobonichi Weeks is very cute, but just too darn small! Halfway through the ye

These socks are so bright, they confuse my phone camera. These are my latest pair of socks that I work on over my lunch breaks at work. The rainbow neon is a self-striping by @thewoolbaron but I lost the tag that had the specific name. These are also my l

My bangs don’t know their doing this morning but here’s a sweater I finished a couple weeks ago. This is the @skeindeer #FestiveSweater that I started last Christmas out of Rauma Finull/PT2. I may not be mentally prepared for Winter, but I have a cute swe

I had a few people ask “What’s that stripey thing your working on?” It’s my #StumbleSkirt test knit for @whatlydiamade. I started my palette with my leftovers from my Shawlography MKAL shawl from last year and I’m adding in some of my fav colours, dusty p

I hate using the cutesy knitting terms, but I def lost the yarn chicken on these socks from a 50g skein. I’m going to go steal a stripe repeat from the first sock, but I think these will also need contrasting toes to work out. #M3SockStashAlong2022

In between trying to nap away my sore throat and cough, I managed to finish up this #RiftTee this weekend from one skein of @eisaku_noro Kakigori. It needs a good wet block, but I’m pretty into these chill colour phases.

I thought about starting something new but couldn’t decide what I wanted to start. So instead I finished this hat I started last December. This is the third #SnofrostHat that I have knit. This one is Briggs & Little Sport in Read Heather & Washed White. A

This week was about getting back into my regular routine. Well, regular routine with special work events almost every day of the week. Knittingwise, I plugged away at putting heels into all my accumulated sock snakes. I had a project bag with all three pa

Here’s some proof that I finished my #MarzipanPullover test knit from earlier this year. It was fun to knit this intensely cabled round yoke! I used 6 skeins of @labienaimee Merino Aran that I had in my stash, but it wasn’t quite enough. I’m very lucky th
