I really should work out a better naming convention for these posts! Anyway, it's been a good week in craft land. For our trip on Saturday I had a small problem - I thought Leon's scarf would take longer, but it was starting to get ridiculously long, so I had to cast off. So I cast on an emergency pair of socks for me, with a stripe pattern to match this cardigan. They have knit up very fast, and now here we are:
A stunning photographic guide to some of the world's most remote islands left to return to nature.
It has enough information about each island to provide context, but it's really about the pictures. And about dreaming about faraway places, and the people who lived there, and the people who left. It's a wonderful book, and would be even better as a printed book to leaf through.
I'm also reading Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir.
I've got mixed feelings. It's kind of sci-fi but mainly fantasy, and I want more explanation of both. Which i may well get, I'm only a third of the way through and things are slowly being revealed. Maybe. It's a big book, so I'll probably have more to say next week.
And that's my week in readingand knitting. To read my all my book reviews, and to see everything I knit, you can find me on Ravelry as Sharondoubleknit and on GoodReads as Sharondblk.
I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday and Kat from the Bookdate for It's Monday, What Are You Reading. Thanks Kat and Kat for hosting these linkups.
I like the sound of the book on remote, abandoned islands.
