Thanks for stopping by :-)
Good luck with knitting your first pair of socks. I'd love to learn how to do that.
ReplyDeleteLonely Castle in the Mirror looks compelling. I am very curious about that book!
Wow, you knitted your own socks! That is hard to do.

ReplyDeleteMurder Game looks good. I think that cyberpunk art exhibit event looks neat too. If I was in the area I'd probably be curious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving
Yay for knitting a first pair of socks! I am knitting some Christmas socks for myself this year and it's a lot of fun. Season of Love looks good to me, I've been shopping holiday books this week so I'll add it to my list probably!
ReplyDeleteI saw Christmas Murder Game pop up on another list this weekend. Sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the socks. I like your links. Nice book haul. The Christmas Murder Game looks interesting. Good to see you at MM. Have a good week and Happy Reading! MarthaE
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try socks - thinking of trying a class at my LYS in the new year. Enjoy your reading this week.

Happy knitting and happy reading! The Cloisters looks good.
ReplyDeleteI've knit and crocheted off and on for years but never attempted gloves or socks - something about figuring out the heel is intimidating. Good luck! The Cloisters is on my TBR so I'll be interested to know what you think. And I've read some Clare MacIntosh and enjoyed them - hope you like this one.
