The hat, on the other hand, has reached the point where I&#8217;ll need to add that second ball of yarn (which it took me two hours to find over the weekend!) and beads (which I need to buy &#8212; I&#8217;ve resigned myself that cherry blossoms really are not red and that the red beads I have will not do), so now I&#8217;ll need to be home and able to follow a chart to move forward with that.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, I&#8217;ve just started Neil Gaiman&#8217;s <em>Norse Mythology<\/em> on audiobook, so that&#8217;s 6 1\/2 hours of swoon-worthy listening during which I should be able to get a chunk of knitting done.<\/p>\n<p>In paper, as I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spritewrites.net\/?p=7885\">mentioned<\/a> over the weekend, I&#8217;ve been reading <em>#NotYourPrincess<\/em>, a collection of poetry and short prose pieces by Indigenous North American women, and just have a couple pages left, having dozed off trying to finish it the other night. I&#8217;m down to my final 100 pages of <em>Strange the Dreamer<\/em>, and as all the characters are currently in relative safety, I have to leave it until such a point as I can tear through them all in a single go. So I&#8217;ve picked up <em>Obsidio<\/em>, the final book in the Illuminae Files trilogy, which I asked the library to buy (and which they obligingly did quite quickly). It&#8217;s written in an epistolary style with the short chunks of text comprised of video logs, email conversations, and philosophical musings from a sentient and formerly murderous AI currently housed in a tablet, all of which are evidence in a court trial (in space). Finally, in my bag, I&#8217;m only a few pages into <em>Sing, Unburied, Sing<\/em>, but nothing really sets the tone of your day like reading about the killing of livestock while on your way to work. I&#8217;m hoping it gets less graphic as it goes along, or we&#8217;re in for a bit of a slog through a book that&#8217;s already overdue back to the library.<\/p>\n<p>What are you reading or crafting?
