Passed 67K on the WIP today, that is not counting the big chapter I have set aside to paste in after this one which should give me a nice word count jump... moving along slowly...

EOFY sales are dangerous...lol. First order arrived and there's more on the way.
Got plans for more shawls - looks like my DILs and granddaughters will be getting shawls for Xmas 😜

Sitting on the porch with neighbors a few weeks ago discussing #vegetarian #cooking, one of my favorite people says the best and most reliably delicious cookbook she ever had was Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home. I ordered a copy on Thriftbooks.com and they sent me one with someone else's tabs still all through it, which I love! I wish there were actual written notes. I know that's sacrilegious to some but I write in all my cookbooks. #bookstodon @bookstodon

Currently reading The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia McKillip for the first time, and no idea how I’ve missed it to this point. Do people have suggestions on which of her other works I should check out next? #Bookstodon

Just finished another nostalgic book. Mira, Mirror is such a good and unique take on the magic mirror in snow white

Hi there, bookworms! If you're a fan of audiobooks and all things nature, my book "Nature's Wild Ideas" is available to listen to!

The book is a deep-dive into nature and the many groundbreaking human inventions inspired by the wild.

About 5 years ago my sister lost a book of poetry (William Blake), so recently she decided to replace it and ordered a second hand copy on eBay. It arrived today.

It's got her handwritten notes in it. It's hers.

This is a pretty fucking wild paper that came out a few days ago. Language models can use fMRI imagining to read our minds. This has real world medical applications, but I can’t help but worry what will happen when repressive governments, the military, and law enforcement get this kind of technology. This is really straight out of science fiction and I’m not sure it’s getting popular press.

There is a #fantasy novel, starts fairly standard-ish with a teen male practicing before I think he goes off to train with a wizard. Mostly I remember the author used lots of onomatopoeia, from the first page. So the young man swings a sword and Thhhwaaack. I always thought it was The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, but I just skimmed a preview and it's not. May have been first in a series. Anyone know which book it is? I probably came across it 1992-2000.

Once again my natural weather predictor (migraine) indicates rain is in my future.

Not sure I like this predictor. Can I return it and just be surprised.

I knew that it would happen.

I'm on vacation and only a few minutes from my destination is a very cool yarn shop. I spent maybe an hour there today ...

As a friend of mine says: buying yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies.

But they are already spoken for. Socks for my partner who loves bright greens, sand to blue for my MIL, green to orange for my mother. The final one for me

A fibre-y #TBThursday, inspired by OneDrive showing me pictures of purchases from the last time I went to Wonderwool Wales. Here's two batches of fibre that I bought, and the two shawls that I knitted from the yarn I spun it into.

The rainbow shawl is Rosetta Tharpe (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rosetta-tharpe) with double the number of stitches, and the blue-grey one is Pizzelle (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pizzelle-shawl) with a different border, because I like to make things complicated for myself.
