    My Ravelry Project Page Pattern :   Arachne by Andi Satterlund (redirects to Untangling Knots) Needle : US4 - 3.50mm Yarn :  Knit Picks Galileo in Lunar and Pearl Started : August 26, 2020 Completed : October 31, 2021 Notes : It is too hot where I live to wear a full wool garment in October, so I though this wool/bamboo blend would be nice. My plan is to make the sleeves a bit shorter as well, 3/4 or less. After swatching with a size 5, 4, and 3 needle, I couldn't get more than 18 stitches per 4 inches. With a size 2 needle, I got 19 stitches. Of course, as I went down in needle size, the stitch height got smaller and smaller, but the stitch width did not. After some thought, I decided to do some math and go ahead with a size 4 needle. With my gauge, I could work a Medium and get the right size (roughly a 54 inch bust which includes 6 inches of positive ease). The plan is to work the colorwork incorporating the Ladderback Jacquard method, which is new to me. Als...

Aunt Dimity's Death by Nancy Atherton My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read for #Book1CoziesClub I really enjoyed this book. It's been a very long time since I read a mystery that didn't revolve around a murder, and I found it very refreshing. It also gave way to a very relaxed read which was a nice change of pace for me. I'll definitely be reading more installments from this series in the future. View all my reviews

Devil Sharks by Chris Jameson My rating: 3 of 5 stars While this did fit the bill for a Shark Week read, I did not find it as entertaining as Shark Island . There were things I didn't enjoy and things I questioned in this story. This book, like the other, includes several shark attack scenes and will not be for everyone. Looking forward to reading Shark Beach next year during Shark Week. View all my reviews

My thoughts on the first book in the Cooking Class Mystery Series by Miranda Bliss. This was the #Book1CoziesClub selection for July 2020. If you have read Cooking Up Murder, please come share your thoughts with us in the Mystery Madness Goodreads Group !

Cooking Up Murder by Miranda Bliss My rating: 3 of 5 stars Read for #Book1CoziesClub This was entertaining, but I wouldn't say I'm invested in theses characters after this first installment. While I did enjoy watching Annie evolve into an amateur detective, I disliked Eve. I did find it interesting that Eve was the catalyst to investigate this case, however the reason she wanted to start to investigate made me shake my head. I also disliked that this book heavily mentions the two main character's exes. Would I read the next installment? Sure. Would I feel like I'm missing out on something if I didn't read the next installment? I wouldn't. View all my reviews
