hellooooo dear occasional site perusers! this is my however-many-month-ly blog post before i update my site a bunch and then slip back into the open grave i sit in waiting for doom to catch me.

firstly. started reading the warlock holmes series by g.s. denning and I can't recommend it enough. So funny, while also keeping the heart of the whole Holmes idea and Holmes x Watson dynamic alive. Very charming, I'm on book 4 of 5 (listening to the dramatized audio) and I'm thinking of saving up for all the paperbacks of them.

secondly, i have been knitting A LOT. a lot of them are vintage patterns which means surfing through old vintage pattern sites, most of which have succumbed to linkrot. AUGH. it has been a slog. i may eventually make either an article or webshrine about the beast that is knitting vintage patterns.

i'm also getting used to using my new fountain pen! and i'm going on a trip soon, so expect many pen and ink drawings of buildings and mountains.
