I read Every Heart A Doorway last December and absolutely loved it so I finally treated myself to the rest of the series. Now to actually read them!

My current read: These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong.

I have a growing pile of dice bags...now just to get dice to fill them...and a reason for owning so many dice...

A rainbow blanket that I finished back in March.

Tried to make some envelopes a bit nicer with some painted flowers - no excuses now to try catch up on my mail pile!

An order that was sent out the other day - so satisfying seeing these colourful minis bundled up!

Set of high twist sock minis up in shop!

A finished #stormshawl made using one skein of my After Dusk colourway in 4ply (yarn still available in my shop!). A beautiful pattern and I think the yarn suits it very well!

Not too much done so far but I like how the yarn is working up in this garter stitch section. Seeing as it's my own hand dyed yarn, I'm counting this as a make for the #irishkal so hopefully I'll get it finished before the end of that.
