Off the hook

Recently I finished to the point shawl by Wilma Westenberg.  Pattern here

 


 


I had made this shawl before out of wool but I am changing from wool to cotton and other plantfibers because I have some sensory issues and I can´t take the itchyness.


So I made it out of Drops loves you nr. 7 (I think) and now I can enjoy this beautiful shawl without constantly scratching myself.

Watch, listen, read

I haven´t been on here for 3 years but I want to start blogging again.

So I´ll start with a easy blog


Watching

Star trek the next generation. This is one of my safety shows, always so enjoyable to watch.


Listening

I´ve been listening to a lot of Joy division lately and some other post punk/goth stuff.


Reading

I am reading my way through Terry Pratchett´s discworld again. I am currently on book nr 7 Pyramids.


I finished last month reading series The other´s by Anne Bishop. The first book is called Written in red and I do recommend the whole series if you like supernatural beings and found families.


I am also reading my way through James Elroy´s La quartet I´m on book 2 the big nowhere at the moment. I´m not sure about these books, I find the language incredibly shocking (racist, sexist and homophobic)


All these books are audiobooks but I´m also reading some ebook


Steampunk trilogy by Paul Di Filippo and The Carnelian crow by Coleen Gleason


Well that´s enough for now.
