Needles

43 projects last year and only at 24 this year?

Lots of gnomes, goodly amount of gifts.  More process/KALs?  But some super happy making sweaters (ilha, gridlines, 3 summer tops)

Dark Academia got most likes

 

Cortney loved: Monica’s Bay Area Yarn Crawl coverage, the Explicate Hat by Hunter Hammersen, Coloring Book Raglan by Aimeeshermakes, and Dark Academia sweater by River Road Knits.

 

Easel

Sheep butter mold from last year anni episode

Bird and pb

London one: big ben, fox, typewriter, pretzel, wine

 

Cortney is happy with these creations: last summer’s bird prize, annual Gouachevember, tiny typewriter for the SFPL tiny art show.

 

Table

Full veg! No kids!

 

Cortney noticed: how the podcast continues to ignite cooking projects, be they low-sodium, less meat, more mushrooms.

 

nightstand

125 books!  +41 last year pre-anniversary

Audio, foreign, cant keep away from challenges

Sue grafton! Christmas/holiday books

Better idea what’s going to annoy me even if i cant keep away from it

Fresh water for flowers by Valerie Perrin

I cheerfully refuse by leif enger

Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez

 

Cortney finally figured out: her genre of choice! Environmenal/eco fiction!! Where the environment IS a character, or an important feature. Books like: The Light Pirate by Lucy Brooks-Dalton and I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger.

Also, alway happy to read a well-written romance or witchy story.
