Obviously, I gone an' done it again!
There's a second podcast for you to enjoy or cringe at, whichever, it's a thing that I did.
Again apologies for the sound quality, but my poor time management skills mean that I'm not in a position to learn a new piece of software with accompanying skillset tonight. Sorry, not sorry.
Some useful links:
#Hapalong by KnitBritish
Aestlight by Gudrun Johnston
Mama Vertebrae by Kelly Brooker
And then of course I remembered, the Book Club Book!
Mayhem by Sarah Pinsborough was discussed and ended up with a score like most others. We score strategically, helping a book along if we like it. It was generally enjoyed, even if *some* had some issues with the language. I didn't and the setting appeals to me, as well as the detective story part of the storyline. More please!
(Oh, it's using a number of really happened for real murders around the time of Jack the Ripper's A Bit More Than 15 Minutes of Fame. Mix in a bit of the supernatural, an unlikely love interest, a dr. Bond and a bit of opium, and there you have it, a book that I've finished reading!)
I'll keep you informed of the next one, The Godless, by Ben Peek. It has a lot of pages that one....
Love,
J

Love Your Blog - Beginnings
This Blog has always been about Beginnings. New adventures, new hobbies, new projects. I begin stuff *all the time* of which my pile of WIP's is really all the proof you need. So for this one, I thought I'd try a new thing altogether.
Oh yes, I did it. I apologize for the questionable quality of the sound. I've just recorded on the phone and not done any editing. Life, short, etc. I do hope you enjoy it, please let me know!
With special thanks to all the ladies (and gents) who went before me, and have been such pleasures to listen to. I can only aspire to stand in your shade.
Links of interest:
Ripples Crafts (also check out her blog for stunning images of Assynt)
https://www.ripplescrafts.com/
Dutch Wool Diva (who just started a vlog, Dutch only, I'm afraid. Good excuse to learn a new language?)
http://www.dutchwooldiva.nl/store/
Lattes and Literature (Books, games, coffee and cake. It only needs yarn to be perfect)
http://www.lattesandliterature.com/
Please to enjoy!
Love, J

076knits: Kille
If you've been reading the blog, you might have seen the pictures. I can't get enough of Bubs running around and doing anything but standing still to have his picture taken.
It all started when Bubs had only just joined us. I wanted to knit something for me, instead of the pile of baby knits that had gone before. I had a really (really) nice skein of Ripples Crafts Assynt Storms, a circular needle, and a naptime to gather my sanity before the next round of nursing, nappies and cramps. A new mom needs a bit of pampering, and that hank of yarn was just the trick.
One thing led to another (ever so slowly) and with help from two lovely professionals (hello Dutch Wool Diva and Yarn and Pointy Sticks) I can now present you my first ever pattern, Kille
Kille is a cowl with lots of nice and easy stitches, not a lot of counting and lots of pretty colours if you pick your yarn carefully. The sample shown is a new colourway by Dutch Wool Diva, Strolling through the Woods, and it's perfect for matching the Autumn colours out there right now. The sturdy Sock Star is perfect for sharing the cowl with your little one, especially when they like chewing on your knitwear, and soft enough to be worn against the skin. If you don't have a little one or like to live dangerously, go wild with your yarn choices! Be careful though, changing the gauge means changing your yardage! The pattern is carefully tech edited, but if you find a problem, please let me know!
You can wear Kille inside out and upside down, but not twice around your head.*
You can even try it on your other person, but I would keep it. It's a selfish treat, remember?
You have to knit it first, and you can do so after going right here: buy now (you don't have to be a member)
Love,
J
*definitely not twice around a little head so that pulling on it doesn't pull it tight
