Reading: Well, my hiatus from fiction was short lived. I ran across The Night Circus at my library and promptly devoured it in a matter of days. I can’t seem to get enough fantasy/fairy tale/magical realism lately — which is good, because Jake got me Wildwood for my birthday and I’m dying to jump into it. I’m not sure what it is, I’ve got tons of “regular,” non-magical fiction on my To Read list, but nothing at all appeals to me lately unless there’s a touch of the fantastic in it. Any favorite magical reading recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Knitting: I’ve cast on for this hat, which will hopefully be a Christmas present. Though I’m having some gauge issues, I’m very excited about this pattern, because I love seed stitch!
Joining Ginny & co. today for Yarn Along.
Looks like a very pretty color. Looking forward to the finished project.
i’ve been wanting to read wildwood…it’s been calling to me. soon i hope.
That hat is adorable – I can’t wait to see yours when it is finished…
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else say they love seed stitch. Ever. I was telling my husband the other day that I am weird because I like it – it keeps me on my toes & I have to think about what I am doing.

What a fun hat! And, those book covers look enticing in and of themselves, makes one want to dive right in!
Oh, I look forward to hearing about Wildwood and seeing what your finished project looks like!
Ooo what yarn are you using? I love that color and the sheen is awesome.
It is Knit Picks Swish Bulky in tidepool heather. It’s so soft; I really love it!
Ohhh, thanks so much for pointing me to the night circus. I love a good magical realism book any day.
