Summer! Let’s do this thing!

Manic crafting continues. I have so much yarn, so many projects. These gloves turned out great, I think. So cozy! The gray yarn is handspun from Shapinsay, one of the Orkney Islands. The red is from Whitby, a gift from a friend. Both came from last year’s Scotland trip. What a nice remembrance! (The pattern is Earl Grey Mitt

Carrie Vaughn answered Horhe's question: Will we see a third book in the Bannerless series? Unfortunately, I'm not planning one at the moment. I have ideas, but I also have a lot of other projects I'm working on. I have written some short stories in the setting -- "Learning Letters" features Enid. https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fi...

Quotes by Carrie Vaughn (?)

“I'm a werewolf trapped in a human body."
"Well, yeah, that's kind of the definition."
"No, really. I'm trapped."
"Oh? When was the last time you shape-shifted?"
"That's just it - I've never shape-shifted."
"So you're not really a werewolf."
"Not yet. But I was meant to be one, I just know it. How do I get a werewolf to attack me?"
Stand in the middle of a forest under a full moon with a raw steak tied to your face, holding a sign that says, 'Eat me; I'm stupid'?”
― Carrie Vaughn, Kitty and the Midnight Hour
