Unravelled Wednesday and WAYRN - the one with Kindle Unlimited again

I've rejoined Kindle Unlimited.  I do that periodically - I think I did a free month in 2017, and then a discount 3 months at the beginning of 2020, and then 3 free months when I bought my Kindle Oasis in 2020. Elise recommended an urban fantasy series and I saw that there was a John Birmingham series I hadn't read in KU I looked up the current deals and got 6 months at half price. it's just not worth it for me at $13 a month, but not I only have to read one or two KU books a month to make it worthwhile. So, I started with Dragons Don't Eat Meat by Kim McDougall

Look at that cover! The book itself is fine. It's quite light, but also trying to address big issues. It's sort of trying to do too much I think. 

If you have any Kindle unlimited recomm




endations please let me know in the comments.

Knitting has been toddling along. For reasons, I have been making Leon a bonus winter set. I'm almost finished, just the mitts to go, but I'm free-styling the pattern, which is always an interesting time!

If you come back on Friday, I'll show you the completed set and also tell the full story.

And that's what I'm knitting and reading right now. in reading and 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 marvel at the people who are able to make good use of Amazon Unlimited. I have so many books already, I don't know that I'd read enough to make it worth my while. Then again, maybe I'd stop buying books if I used that program.

    Sorry your current book isn't more to your liking. Hope you enjoy your next one more.

    I've never tried Kindle Unlimited. I already have thousands of books to read and don't think I'd be able to make it worthwhile. Besides, my Audible subscription and Prime subscription are enough subscriptions for me. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Unravelled wednesday and WAYRN - the one where I prepare

We are heading off for some camping and hiking and general R&R on Friday, so I'm currently in planning and preparing mode. Of course that mainly means deciding what to knit - I'm going to make the Old Romance cardigan by Joji Locatelli. The yarn is wound and I'm ready to go. I completed Leon's Winter Set (2023) just in time, and it's currently blocking. I'm reading Georgette Hayer's Fredrica , which I am enjoying very much. Regency romance is so sweet and, unlike current romance offerings, I know it won't suddenly tumble into gynaecological territory!  For unexplained reasons, NetGalley is offering some Georgette Heyer books at the moment - (maybe it's re-release?) and I'm taking this opportunity to read a few more of them And that's my week in knitting and reading.  To read my all my book reviews, and to see everything I knit, you can find me on Ravelry as  Sharondoublekni t and on GoodReads as  Sharondblk .  I'm joining in with Kat ...

Yarnalong - the one with the final bit of transport

Remember how I took every form of transport known to man a fortnight ago? Well, I was missing just one thing, suburban trains. But today I got to remedy that, knitting my way to Dandenong for work. Yay? My Char jumper has been knitting up ridiculously fast. It's easy, pleasant and a well written pattern. I'm reading Rachael Herron's latest book The Ones Who Matter Most . It's a good read so far, family centered fiction, easy to read but still emotionally challenging. I'm listening to Evelyn Waugh's Men At Arms . I'm enjoying it, I didn't really know what to expect, but some of it reminds me of Catch 22, in that it catalogues the absurdities of war and bureaucracy. The narrator has the perfect upper crust English accent and I'm very pleased it's the first of a trilogy.   And that's another week of reading, knitting and catching trains everywhere for me. Do pop along to Ginny's blog to see what she and the rest of the yarnalong ...

Slowly slowly

I haven’t posted about my actual knitting for a while. This might be because not much has changed since the last time I talked about my knitting. This is the edging of my Village Sweater Wrap:  The picture fails to capture how much further there is to go. I'm just past the first arm hole, so just over a third of the way through. It’s 47 stitches of relatively simple lace. I’ve been knitting it since Monday two weeks ago. It’s quite pleasant, and slowly growing but I can’t quite work out why it’s growing so slowly. One reason I know is that the first week I was knitting it during Good Beer Week, so I didn’t take it out and about with me. I knit other things, and when I’m knitting two things it makes everything feel like it takes forever. But the main reason, I think, is that this is just a slow knit for me. I love the needles I’m knitting on ( Karbonz of course) I love the yarn, I love the way the lace looks. So really, what’s the rush? I’m not going to be cold...
