You might enjoy the The Mirror Visitor Quartet by Christelle Dabos (fantasy) and The Priory of the Orange Tree + A Day of fallen night by Samantha Shannon (also fantasy). Neither are smutty and are very focused on world building and once you start I tend not to be able to put them down.
I made fingerless mitts with short rows once, and loved the way they fit! They curved a bit around my index fingers, in a warm delicious way. I hope you enjoy your gloves! Also, you may enjoy reading NKJemisin. She is a fantastic sci-fi world builder, and includes a lot of non-white characters, which is different for sci-fi. There is a bit of smut in her books, but you could easily skip it- it isn't the main story at all. My favorite so far is her Broken Kingdom series.
I use the library app Hoopla. Last year I really enjoyed "Murderbot Diaries " series by Martha Wells. Don't let the title throw you. It was a great series.
Thanks so much! They have held up pretty good! I had one pair that I knit too small wear out on me, it lasted about a year and a half, not super great, but the stitches were under a lot of strain by the way I squeezed into them. LOL I have another pair that has held up great! I am pretty easy on my socks though, we have no carpet, and I wear them more as slippers when it is really cold. :D I have another pair that has held up great!
I am doing the Yuletide socks and like the contrasting green you used for heels/toes/cuffs. It looks like it is a good match for the green in the Yuletide. What yarn and colorway did you use in the green?
GO FOR IT.....leave the knit ridge on the backside of your blanket- it will be fabulous and you will wrap in it with the rightside showing so it shouldn't bother you!!!!! Carrie from Florence OR. 😘❤🦮🐑☕🧵🪡🧶
Have you ever tried Russian grafting? It creates a lovely pattern on one side and is pretty invisible on the other. I am currently knotting the Easy Cosy sweater by Yamagara and this technique was used. Very Pink knits has a good tutorial for it.🙂
thank you

So enjoying watching your vlogs! And I loved the vlogmas posts! Quick question; how well do socks made out of Wool Ease hold up?

It sounds like the sci-fi novel trilogy "Eve of Man" might be a great fit for you! :)
I'll check it out! Thanks! :D

FUN! :D Oh I wish I could tell you but I bought it in a destash, I do know it is one of Knit Picks Fingering 75/25 bases. Not sure what though.

Hello neighbor to the south! I think I am gonna leave it. Lol I don't think it will bother me, it will just be a feature! 😉
